Description

The Apprentice Ecologist Initiative has engaged tens of thousands of youth volunteers from around the world in environmental cleanup and conservation projects since 1999. The goals of the Apprentice Ecologist Initiative are to elevate youth into leadership roles by engaging them in environmental cleanup and conservation projects; empower young people to rebuild the environmental and social well-being of our communities; and improve local living conditions for both citizens and wildlife through education, activism, and action. Scholarships are currently available to high school juniors (Class of 2027) and seniors (Class of 2026) from any state or country. High school seniors can also apply during the summer after graduation. Funding covers tuition and fees to attend an accredited college or university. Applicants should embody the spirit of the Apprentice Ecologist Initiative by demonstrating personal initiative and dedication, leadership and self-growth, and project accomplishments and sustainability. Applicants must lead or join an environmental stewardship project. They must take a photo of their project in action and write an essay. Applicants must submit their project location, photo, essay, number of volunteers, total volunteer hours, plus their name, address, and high school level.
