INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS
Outstanding 10th and 11th grade students are nominated by educators and invited by the program to attend the Washington Youth Summit on the Environment and serve as National Youth Delegates based on strong academic performance, a demonstrated interest in the environment, conservation and sustainability fields, and with the desire to explore careers in the fields of environmental science, conservation, policy, law and engineering.
There are a limited number of need-based scholarships available for qualified National Youth Delegates. Scholarship applicants must submit a high school transcript, must demonstrate extreme financial need, and all applicants will be required to submit a copy of the most recent 1040 Federal Income Tax Form from the individual who claimed them as a dependent.
