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 11th, 2026. Recipients should be prepared to speak to the Grafton County Conservation District about their camp experience. Access the application here: 2026 Jim Page Conservation Scholarship application
The Jim Page Conservation Scholarship also provides tuition for students attending the NH Agriculture in the Classroom School to Farm Day held annually at the Rocks Estate, Bethlehem, NH. GCCD participates in the School to Farm Day, and other events, with an exhibit highlighting the importance of soil, and soil health for area students. For more information contact us.
