The Lake George Land Conservancy is offering the first of what is planned to be an annual scholarship totaling $1,000 to high school seniors who live year-round in the Lake George basin.
To apply, a high school senior must submit an essay between 1,000 and 2,000 words addressing this year’s question: “If you were elected the Wizard Mayor of the Lake George watershed, what would your first three projects be and why?”
Essays must be received by April 1 and should be submitted by email to: hbartonbenedict@lglc.org
Eligibility is restricted to high school seniors who live year round in the Lake George basin and includes year-round residents of Huletts Landing. One $500 first-place and one $250 second-place prize will be awarded and an additional $250 will be awarded to the first-place winner’s school science program.
For more information contact Helen Barton Benedict, the LGLC’s development manager at 518-644-9673 or email her at: hbartonbenedict@lglc.org
I spoke to Ms. Benedict this morning and a sub-committee of Lake George Land Conservancy board of directors and staff will determine the winners. The essays will be judged on knowledge of Lake George and creativity.
Winners will be announced by June 1.
