SUMMER SCHOLARSHIPS IN
ECOLOGY AND ORNITHOLOGY

The Maryland Ornithological Society is now accepting applications
For seven ecology scholarships and two ornithology scholarships.

Scholarship winners attend summer workshops sponsored by
 The National Audubon Society at Audubon camps.
Each grant covers the cost of tuition, room and board.

Ecology workshops are held in Maine, Connecticut, and Wyoming.  Each
workshop is an intensive six-day course of field study and instruction in
ecology, conservation, and natural history.

Ornithology workshops, which are held in Maine, consist of a week's study
in ornithology.


Requirements:

1. The Maryland Ornithological Society requires that its scholarship
recipients be those who work with young people.  This includes teachers,
park rangers, camp counselors, and others who do, or who are planning to,
make nature education part of their careers.

2. Applicants need not be members of MOS but must be endorsed by a member
or chapter of MOS.

3. Each candidate must provide a written statement showing how the Audubon
experience will be used to develop in young people an appreciation of our
wild heritage and a sense of responsibility for the care and quality of our
natural resources.

4. Two or more letters of recommendation from persons who know of the
candidate's interests and activities are requested.  A resume would be a
helpful addition to the application.
