 Applications are being accepted by the Illinois Conservation
Foundation (ICF) for the 2021 Conservation Achievement Scholarship
program.
The ICF awards the annual Conservation Achievement Scholarships to
encourage the next generation of leaders to preserve and enhance a
sustainable outdoor environment.
Up to four one-time scholarships of $2,000 are given to outstanding
high school seniors in Illinois who have demonstrated effective,
voluntary and long-term dedication to the preservation, protection,
enhancement and/or promotion of Illinois' natural resources.
Applicants must be Illinois residents and a senior in an Illinois
high school during the year of the scholarship award. One of the
scholarships is earmarked for a qualified applicant who is a
dependent of a current employee of the Illinois Department of
Natural Resources.
