Education Bursary

Helping today’s youth become tomorrow’s leaders

Through initial support of the Fort Erie Conservation Women’s Auxiliary, Niagara Peninsula Conservation Foundation is proud to support an annual bursary program aimed at assisting secondary school students seeking to further their education and their commitment to the environment.

Bursaries will be awarded to secondary school students residing in the municipalities within the Niagara Peninsula watershed which include: Fort Erie, Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake, St. Catharines, Thorold, Welland, Port Colborne, Wainfleet, Pelham, Lincoln, West Lincoln and Grimsby, as well as Hamilton and Haldimand County.

Students must be pursuing post-secondary education in a field relating to: conservation, environment, forestry, natural resources, and/or fish & wildlife.

In 2024, bursaries of $500/ea were awarded to six students from across the watershed. Applications were received online from March through May, and awards were handed out at a reception on Aug. 19 at Ball’s Falls conservation area.
