COSF seeks students for 2025 eco scholarships: Deadline is February 15

Published by Anne Russell on

Do you know a high-school senior who wants to pursue an environmental studies-related major at a two- or four-year college or university? COSF is looking to award two Conejo Valley or Greater Ventura County college-bound students $1,000 in continuing scholarships, so let them know!  Each scholarship recipient will receive up to $4,000 in support from COSF.

Now in its fifth year, COSF environmental studies scholarships pay out for up to four years of study, as long as the student remains full-time, maintains a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher, and stays with an environmental studies-related major.

A panel comprised of local environmental leaders will choose two new scholarship recipients from the pool of applicants. They will look for candidates who want to enter a career directly related to sustainability, ecology, and preserving the natural environment. In addition to environmental studies, relevant majors include, but are not limited to: ecology; environmental engineering; environmental policy; natural-resources management and conservation; and sustainable agriculture.

The deadline for application, which includes a 500-word essay, an academic transcript, and two letters of recommendation, is February 15. Interested seniors are encouraged to apply now. The awardees will be announced in April 2025.
