101 Conservation Scholarship

Each year the Pinchot Institute awards the 101 Conservation Scholarship to students enrolled in natural resource management programs.

Recipients must have a parent working or retired from the U.S. Forest Service, and be pursuing a college degree in natural resource management (undergraduate or graduate).

For nearly two decades the 101 Scholarship been funded entirely by contributions from Forest Service employees -- it was named the 101 Scholarship to signify the way that Forest Service personnel have always given "101 percent" in everything they do.

Applications are due on January 31 of the year in which the scholarship will be used (for example, January 31, 2007 for the school year beginning September 2007). Download application instructions.
