The Wintergreen Fund for Conservation offers a scholarship to a student graduating from a local high school who has decided to further their education in one of the environmental, conservation or natural resources fields of study.

We are proud to recognize the efforts of our youth in protecting and enhancing our local environment. Many of today’s students will lead tomorrow’s environmental efforts.

An application package must be completed by the student and submitted directly to the Wintergreen Fund for Conservation. Our committee members will review submissions and determine the recipient based on the applicant’s interest and involvement with environmental studies and conservation.

• completing their final year of high school in the City of Timmins;
