Soil and Water Stewardship Scholarship
The Soil and Water Stewardship Scholarship seeks to provide financial support to students enrolled fulltime at an accredited two or four-year community college, college, university, which will lead to a career in a natural resource field. It was formerly called the Leopold Education Scholarship. It is administered by the Northeastern Illinois Soil & Water Conservation District.
Funding for the scholarship was made available from the Leopold Education Project, an educational program based on the works of noted conservationist and author Aldo Leopold. Leopold's philosophy and land ethic created a foundation for modern conservation.
