Napa RCD Scholarship for
Emerging Environmental Leaders
General Info
The purpose of this scholarship is to celebrate the contributions of young leaders who have partnered with the Napa County Resource Conservation District (Napa RCD) to voluntarily care for Napa County’s land, water, soil, wildlife, and people. As the go-to-hub for conservation in our community, Napa RCD is honored to recognize, activate, and empower the next generation of environmental stewards.
This scholarship is open to students graduating from any high school, high school equivalent, or GED program in Napa County. We will award two scholarships, each for $1,000.
