			 The ICF annually awards scholarships to outstanding 
			high school seniors in Illinois who demonstrate effective, 
			voluntary, long-term dedication to the preservation, protection or 
			enhancement of the state’s natural resources. Up to three 
			scholarships of $2,000 each are available for the current school 
			year. 
 "The ICF’s Conservation Achievement Scholarship program helps 
			further the education of young people who have shown interest in 
			being our future conservation leaders,” said Wayne Rosenthal, 
			chairman of the Illinois Conservation Foundation Board of Directors 
			and Director of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. “The 
			scholarships help reward a commitment to natural resources 
			stewardship by students from throughout Illinois.”
