Environmental scholarship available

REGION — The Delaware Highlands Conservancy is currently accepting applications from eligible high school seniors for the Delaware Highlands Conservancy/Yeaman Scholarship in the amount of $1,000. The scholarship has been awarded annually since 2004 to a student planning to pursue a field in environmental studies in college.

Given in honor of the Conservancy’s founder, Barbara Yeaman, the scholarship is open to students in school districts bordering the Upper Delaware River in New York and Pennsylvania. Last spring, the Conservancy awarded a scholarship to Kristen DeVilliers, currently attending Unity College in Maine, majoring in captive wildlife care and education.

Students should contact their guidance counselors for a scholarship application. Applications must be submitted through the school’s guidance counselor for transmittal to the Delaware Highlands Scholarship Committee by March 27. Recipients of the scholarship will be notified by April 24.

Funds for the scholarship are made available due to donations from Barbara Yeaman’s friends and family. The conservancy also thanks Joann Puskarcik and the organization RESCUE for a generous contribution to the scholarship fund. To make a donation, send an email to info@delawarehighlands.org.

Visit www.DelawareHighlands.org or call 570/226-3164 or 845/583-1010.
