Each year we offer the Friends of the Boyne River Marie Zoberski Scholarship to applicants who live in the Boyne River watershed or in Charlevoix County, and are planning a career compatible with the purposes of the Friends of the Boyne River.
Careers in natural resources, marine biology, conservation, DNR related fields, watershed management, water quality, fisheries and wildlife, horticulture, forestry, etc., qualify.
The scholarship is $2,000 for one year, divided into $1,000 per semester, and is limited to reimbursement for tuition, textbooks, equipment, fees and materials. The money is paid each semester to the recipient when copies of expense receipts totaling $1,000 are mailed or emailed to the scholarship chair (below):
