Scholarship Committee

Here is the 2010 application and announcement . The deadline for postmarked entries is March 19, 2010. The winner will be announced April 16, 2010. When going to college, every little but helps. Good luck!

The Scholarship Committee is responsible for applying a portion of the Association's assets to those who want to further their education in the environmental field.  The committee is overseen by the second director of the NHWPCA.

A portion of the annual Scholarship Committee budget is set aside for a New Hampshire student who is going on to college and undertaking studies in the environmental field.

The Scholarship Committee and the Board of Directors are pleased to announce this year’s 2009 recipient of the NHWPCA $1,000 scholarship, Marissa Lynn of Bow.  Marissa is a senior at Bow High School and has shown a commitment to improving the health of New Hampshire waters.  She has spent her senior year researching the effects of pollution on freshwater resources in New Hampshire and volunteering with the Upper Merrimack River Local Advisory Committee using macro-invertebrates to gauge the health of the river.  She is continuing her education at Dartmouth where she intends to focus on environmental studies and the sciences.  We all wish Marissa continued success as she continues with her education.

The other portion of the budget is set aside for member operators who want partial funding to attend one-day seminars or short courses.

We are always looking for recipients for these scholarship awards

The responsibilities of the committee are:

• Review the requests submitted by NH resident students and determine if they meet the criteria 
• Award the scholarship to the most deserving applicant and be able to justify choice without prejudice
• Review requests made by member operators for training requests and act on them in a timely manner
• Present recommendation of choices to the Board of Directors
