Scholarship Program
The Environmental Education Division administers the Tribal Lands Environmental Science Scholarship Program to encourage Native American college students to pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees in the environmental sciences. EPA created this program with the hope of increasing the number of Native Americans employed by the Agency to improve the environmental protection of Indian Lands. Since 1991, more than 220 students have received scholarships totaling nearly $1 million to pursue environmental science degrees.
