Ed Stegner Natural Resource Scholarships
(A Foundation-funded Program)
The Foundation’s Ed Stegner Natural Resource Scholarships were established
to provide major financial aid to encourage and assist students in five
areas of natural resource management: fisheries, forestry, wildlife, parks
and recreation and soil and water conservation. Funding for this scholarship
program was provided to the Foundation by Ed Stegner of Pilot Grove, Missouri. A
Master Conservationist, Stegner is the former executive director of the
Conservation Federation of Missouri, and is especially known for his leadership
role in the passage of the 1/8th of 1% conservation sales tax to fund the
Conservation Department’s expanded program, Design for Conservation.
The Foundation’s Ed Stegner Natural Resource Scholarships are a joint
venture with the professional societies in the five different resource areas – i.e.,
the Missouri chapters of the Wildlife Society, American Fisheries Society
and the Society of American Foresters, Missouri Parks and Recreation Association
and the Show-Me Chapter, Soil and Water Conservation Society. These
groups provide selection committees that pick the recipients in the respective
categories. Once selected, the scholarship recipients are notified and each
is presented a check in the amount of $1,000.00.
