Scholarship Available for High School Seniors

The Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation (SRPNEF) recently announced the establishment of an environmental sciences scholarship program for graduating seniors. Founded in 2003, the Foundation has grown from funding a program for 3rd graders to their current nature education programs for elementary, middle and high school students. With an objective of inspiring environmental stewardship, the Foundation sees the scholarship program as a logical extension of their mission to educate and empower youth to appreciate, protect and preserve nature. “We are very excited that our offerings have resulted in the evolution of a very unique environmental education pathway program for students beginning in the 3rd grade through high school. Our hope now is that the scholarship component adds incentive to our young citizens to consider environmental sciences as field of study,” said Ginger Greaves, Executive Director. The inaugural program will offer at least three $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors in Murrieta. The only criteria will be that the student plans to pursue a career in the environmental sciences. While not a requirement, preference will be given to a student who has participated in one of the Foundation’s Habitat Studies and Restoration Programs at Vista Murrieta, Murrieta Mesa and Murrieta Valley high schools. Scholarships are funded by private donations to the Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation at www.srpf.org/scholarships and administered by Murrieta Dollars for Scholars, a chapter of Scholarship America, a nationally recognized non-profit dedicated to mobilizing support for students getting into and graduating from college. The Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation is a non-profit, environmental project-based learning program. Students actively become aware, explore and address environmental challenges while building skills in teamwork and communication, research, data collection and analysis, community engagement, and reflection. The Foundation’s programs enable and require students to delve deeply into a range of academic content while investigating environmental issues affecting the natural world in their own backyard. Apply for the SRPNEF scholarship at www.murrieta.dollarsforscholars.org.
