Dear Friend, Since 1992, EnvironMentors has supported over 3,000 underrepresented high school students in fulfilling their dreams of going to college. This year at our National Fair and Awards Ceremony we are offering 12 environmentally-related scholarships, including one $10,000 scholarship. With your generous support, you too can help EnvironMentors students: •
Donate to the EnvironMentors Scholarship Fund
•
Vote daily for EnvironMentors in the Pepsi Refresh Challenge and help EnvironMentors win $25,000 to support our National Fair and student scholarships.
All support makes a difference and will directly help an EnvironMentors high school student, like Oliver and Shaunise (see below). Oliver and Shaunise are two of six students in the running for the $10,000 scholarship to pursue an environmental related college degree program.

“EnvironMentors helped me decide what I want to do in the future. I intend to major in mechanical engineering and use my skills to help solve environmental issues of today.”
"Developing two award winning projects has raised my environmental awareness and further encouraged me to become a chemical engineer."
This is my second year in the Arkansas State University (ASU) EnvironMentors Program and it has been a positive influence in my life. My first year in the program I had an interest in natural disasters, which led to a project on earthquakes and building an earthquake model. With the support of my mentor, Keith Morris, I produced one of the top three projects in the ASU EnvironMentors Chapter Fair
After learning about the opportunity to gain science skills and a mentor I decided to join the program my freshman year of high school. Now, my mentor and I are working together for a third year. Our relationship has helped me develop useful skills and great projects.
