 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.
