The Linn County Small Woodlands Association is offering up to four renewable college scholarships to Linn County students majoring in forestry or a related natural resource field.
Each scholarship provides a minimum of $2,000 per year. They are awarded based on academic achievement, honors and awards, school and community activities and academic plans. The application process has been updated. It is now available to complete online and submit, or to download, complete, and submit via email or U.S. mail. Application deadline is May 19. The application can be found at linncountyswa.com.
Committee members Mary Brendle, Nancy Mauter, Lena Tucker and committee co-chairs Christy Tye and Bonnie Marshall have been tasked with “getting the word out” about the scholarship. They are reaching out to Linn County high schools, online schools, and other organizations to tap into prospective applicants. Current undergraduate and graduate students from Linn County may also apply. If you know of any Linn County students who might be interested in the LCSWA scholarship, reach out to them with this information.
Scholarship money is provided from revenue earned from the annual LCSWA seedling sale.
