EMILY M. HEWITT MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP & STEPHEN K. STOCKING MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

CBTA is proud to be one of the few Cooperating Associations that awards academic Scholarships each year to students who have chosen to pursue an education and/or career in environmentally related fields.

PURPOSE of Scholarships
To provide a monetary award of $2,500.00 for a promising upper division or graduate student who shows a commitment to communicate and interpret a love of nature and an understanding of the need to practice conservation.

ELIGIBILITY
Eligibility for application is extended to any student or graduate student enrolled full-time in an accredited California post-secondary educational institution whose educational career goals clearly demonstrate an interest in communicating and interpreting nature’s wonder. Students pursuing degrees in environmental protection, forestry, wildlife and fisheries biology, parks and recreation, park management, environmental law and public policy, environmental art, and California history are encouraged to apply. Dedication ideals of the scholarship will be considered at least as important as financial need in making the award.
