Up to five $1,500 scholarships plus up to two $2,500 awards for standout candidates, open to students enrolled full time at an accredited North Carolina college or university and majoring in wildlife, fisheries, forestry, conservation, or environmental fields. Both two-year and four-year programmes qualify, a minimum 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale is required, and rising freshmen are not eligible.
