Scholarships
“As a biology major getting this scholarship helped empower me to know that I could make a difference in my local ecosystem. This scholarship allowed me to have one less thing to worry about while allowing me to help my community. The White Clouds Preserve is a project that any biology major would be proud to be a part of!”
