Whidbey Audubon Society is awarding scholarships to 2017 graduating Whidbey Island high school seniors who intend to pursue a career in an environmentally-related field. Three Conservation Scholarships (one of $2,000 and two of $1,000) are being offered to students pursuing a four-year university degree toward an environmental career.

Application forms are available at all three Whidbey Island high schools and are also posted on the Whidbey Audubon website. They are due at the high school counselor offices by Friday, March 10, 2017.

Insightful information about previous scholarship recipients is also available on the website. The 2016 graduating senior recipients were Iona Rohan, Destiny Cleary, and Madeline Remmen.
