​
The purpose of the Scholar Award is to grant an annual individual award of $2,000 to support a rising University of Massachusetts sophomore, junior, or senior majoring in the College of Natural Sciences or the Stockbridge School of Agriculture whose major is related to creating sustainable landscapes or practicing sustainable agriculture and conserving our natural resources. Eligible students must be residents of Cape Cod and the Islands and have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above.
​
The University of Massachusetts oversees this program and the selection of an annual award recipient based on the required criteria.
