San Diego County CA— Conservation-minded high school seniors in San Diego County are encouraged to apply for one of up to seven $1,000 college scholarships offered by the Resource Conservation District of Greater San Diego County (RCD). The RCD Conservation Scholarship Program is for graduating high school seniors who are pursuing further education in the fields of resource conservation, environmental sciences, or agriculture.
This is the 30^th year that the RCD has offered these scholarships to students throughout San Diego County. Applicants must be high school seniors who are planning to attend college in the fall of 2019. The scholarship application link, eligibility requirements, and background information can be found on the RCD website at http://rcdsandiego.org/education/scholarships/. The deadline for online submissions is April 8, 2019.
“These scholarships are ideal for students who have a real passion about resource conservation or agriculture,” says Sheryl Landrum, RCD Executive Director. “They are not strictly academic scholarships, but also take into account the applicant’s original essay, relevant experience, and letters of recommendation,” she added.
