MACHIAS – The University of Maine is preparing to take applications for a $2,000 scholarship to be given to a Maine high school senior who is a member of his or her school’s Envirothon team.
Seniors whose school does not have an Envirothon team cannot apply for the scholarship until their school forms a team. Each high school in Maine may have two teams of five members each with one alternate per team.
The 12 students study environmental issues and schools compete with other Maine high schools during the state Envirothon in the spring.
For information on the Envirothon program or to register a team, call Sharon Foss at the Washington County Soil and Water Conservation District at 255-4659. The district’s e-mail address is conservation@maineline.net.
