The Conservation Districts of Iowa is sponsoring the conservation and agriculture scholarship program again in 2010. The scholarships are offered to Iowa high school seniors for their first year of education on the college level pursuing programs of study in any field of agriculture or natural resources. Three scholarships will be awarded on the state level in the amounts of $1,800, $1,200 and $1,000. Regional winners not winning at the state-level will each receive $300. The winner from Region 1 will also receive the $100 Art and Lois Ralston Memorial Award.
Applications are to be submitted to your local soil and water conservation district office in the county in which the student lives no later than March 3. The scholarship application is available online www.cdiowa.org/awards.html. Be sure to fill out the 2010 application, as application forms from previous years will not be accepted. The awards are chosen on basis of leadership, service, character, self motivation and scholastic achievement
