The North American Association for Environmental Education is holding their annual conference this fall in Buffalo-Niagara (Sept. 29-Oct. 2). In conjunction with this conference, there are several scholarship opportunities that may be of interest to your students. One of the scholarships in particular is reserved for a college/university student in New York state pursuing a career relating to environmental education. Please share this information with your students, or feel free to forward this to colleagues who work with students who may be interested in these opportunities.
**Environmental Education Scholarships for Academic Study in the amount of $500 to $1,000 are available from the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) for students attending a college or university in New York (the host state of the 2010 NAAEE conference). Scholarship recipients are encouraged to attend the NAAEE conference in Buffalo-Niagara, New York; thus, in addition to the scholarship, scholarship recipients will be offered a free registration to the conference (September 29 – October 2, 2010) and a one-year student membership in NAAEE. Applicants must be currently preparing for a career in formal or nonformal environmental education through coursework (including pre-service teacher preparation), volunteer experiences, or paid work. Eligibility Requirements: Applicants must be enrolled at least half-time in an academic program at the time of their application and at the time of the 2010 conference. Applicants do not have to be current members of NAAEE. Persons of color and people working in environmental justice are especially encouraged to apply.
