"Sterling College has long recognized the value of service to the environment," says Jed Williamson, Sterling's president and a member of SCA's Board of Directors."With over 1,000 identified internship sites found by our students over the past 20 plus years, we feel a common bond with SCA.In fact, every year we receive several applications from potential students who are graduates of SCA.As I am now on the board of SCA, recognition of SCA's work seemed a logical step to take."

The scholarship, which is equal to approximately 7 percent of the cost of tuition, is certain to draw interest from the 2,000 plus high school students that SCA places in hands-on conservation positions each year.Founded in 1957, SCA is a nationally recognized leader in the U.S. in providing youth with hands-on conservation service opportunities, outdoor education and career training.
