The National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW) sponsors an environmental stewardship program, "The Earth In Our Hands." NCCW affiliated groups throughout the country are eligible for the Environmental Stewardship Award based on their activities in "The Earth: In Our Hands" program. This award includes a one-tie $1000 scholarship which the winning affiliate is able to take back to their state. The winning affiliate, with the help of a selection committee, will present this one-time scholarship to a women in upper level undergraduate or graduate studies in a conservation or natural resource related field (including Swarthmore ENVS concentrations).
This year, a one-time $1000 scholarship will be awarded in the State of Pennsylvania. Candidates for this scholarship are nominated by their universities (chair of ENVS), applications are screened by the local selection committee and the scholarship will be awarded on the basis of the committee's recommendation to NCCW.
Nominations for this year's scholarships must be received no later than March 31, 2000; so we hope you will give this your immediate attention. Please contact the chair of ENVS for forms, etc.
The awarding of scholarships will be based on the following materials:
