The Texas Chapter is pleased to be able to present a
number of scholarships to deserving students. Scholarships are provided for educational assistance
to college students pursuing degrees in programs that will prepare them for careers in natural
resource conservation. Scholarships through the Texas Chapter are made possible through private
donations and membership support. The scholarship application process has evolved over the past few
years with continued emphasis on student participation and professionalism. We encourage students to
utilize available computer software and attachments when completing applications. Competition is
stiff these days, so putting time and effort into the application will help. A polished application--
one given noticeable thought, will stand out of the crowd. The Scholarship Committee also asks that
each application be reviewed for grammatical and spelling errors and removal of university
affiliation to ensure objectivity. To help ensure good applications, your faculty advisor must sign
the application. You must submit your application to your student chapter advisor by December 14.
Your advisor will forward to the Scholarship Committee by January 7. Postmarks are not accepted.
