4. Maine Conservation School Scholarships:

MPGA will be offering two $400.00 scholarships for Conservation Camp this year. Winners will be drawn at the Annual Banquet.

Youths age 10 to 13 may apply for a scholarship by submitting a short written essay stating why they want to attend the Conservation Camp. These must be written by the youths. The essays MUST arrive by Friday April 11. We will accept names at the Annual Banquet on April 12, provided they are accompanied by the youth's written essay (the youths do not need to be at our banquet in order to win).

Conservation Camp costs $575.00, and most scholarships are only for $200.00. Do not miss this opportunity to receive a $400.00 scholarship from MPGA.
