Chesapeake Bay Watershed Faculty Development Scholarship Program

Posted by on June 6, 2003

Dear Earth Force Community Partners,

If you, or someone you know, might be interested in applying for this outstanding workshop please send an application today. Although this grant focuses on the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, the concepts and activities can certainly be applied to all watershed areas. You do not have to teach in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed in order to apply for this workshop.

Good luck!
