Jim Page Conservation Scholarship
Grafton County Conservation District (GCCD) administers the Jim Page Conservation Scholarship. Funds from the Jim Page Conservation Scholarship have sponsored residents of Grafton County attending a camp based in conservation, natural resources or environmental education. GCCD wishes to foster learning in the area of conservation by awarding two $350.00 scholarships to deserving students of Grafton County in the area of conservation, towards a 4-H Camp or conservation camp experience. The application is easy to complete – just write a paragraph about why you want to attend camp! Applications must be received by Grafton County Conservation District by February 9, 2024. Recipients should be prepared to speak to the Grafton County Conservation District about their camp experience. 2024 Jim Page Conservation Scholarship information and Application
