Environmental Challenge Fund (ECF) Student Competition
The ECF was initiated with the intention of building a long-term scholarship fund for Northwest university level students studying environmental sciences and engineering. To ensure the viability of a perpetual scholarship program, fundraising continues. See http://www.pnwis.org/ecf.htm for full information about the ECF Program.
The PNWIS Board voted this year to grant $1,000 in prizes for an ECF program, a Student Competition that will be held during the PNWIS 2003 Annual Conference. If you would like to participate in this competition, check out the information below and then register your student team with:
