Scholarship Information and Frequently Asked Questions

In 1946, a group of forward thinking individuals, from across the State, partnered with the School to form the Human Environmental Sciences Foundation Board. Currently, the board's endowment surpasses five million dollars. As part of its endowment, numerous scholarships and fellowships have been established.
