 The foundation 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.
Four scholarships of $2,000 each are available for the current
school year. One of the scholarships is reserved for a qualified
applicant who is a dependent of a current employee of the
Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
“The ICF Conservation Achievement Scholarship program rewards
high school students interested in conservation stewardship with
an eye toward encouraging them to focus their studies on
enhancing and protecting our natural resources,” said Colleen
Callahan, chair of the Illinois Conservation Foundation Board of
Directors and director of the Illinois Department of Natural
Resources.
The ICF Conservation Achievement Scholarships have been awarded
since 2005. Applicants must be an Illinois resident and a senior
in an Illinois high school. Applications must be received by
March 3, 2023.
