The James River Soil and Water Conservation District is pleased to announce a new scholarship opportunity open to high school seniors living in the counties of Chesterfield and Prince George. The Donald A. Bagshaw Memorial Scholarship goal is to promote the higher education of our community in fields emphasizing natural resource conservation, agriculture, or environmental studies.

The annual Conservation Poster Contest provides kindergarten through twelfth grade students an opportunity to convey their thoughts about soil, water and related natural resource issues through art. It also highlights the educational outreach efforts of conservation districts and their state conservation associations, auxiliaries and agencies. The poster contest theme follows the annual NACD Stewardship theme.

The contest is open to public, private or home school students, girl scout/boy scout troops, etc.

The selection committee will review applications through a blinded process facilitated by the Henrico Education Foundation. Applicants must have attended Quioccasin Middle School for at least one year, be pursuing a Standard or an Advanced Studies diploma, and possess a minimum GPA of 3.0.

This is a nominated scholarship, please reach out to your school counselor for more information.
