Passionate about protecting the environment? Graduating this spring and planning your educational future? Keep Martin Beautiful (KMB) is offering two academic scholarship opportunities for Martin County seniors who will be the environmental leaders of tomorrow. Not a high school senior? Help us spread the word and share this opportunity with a student who is!
Keep Martin Beautiful launched the scholarship program last year. “We had a tremendous outpouring of interest,” said Keep Martin Beautiful Board Chair Jennifer Stull-Wise. “The quality of candidates was amazing, and the Board committed to offer the scholarships once again this year.”
To be eligible for the $500 scholarship, an applicant must:
• Be a graduating senior from one of the four high schools in Martin County in 2026.
• Demonstrate a strong commitment to environmental stewardship through academic excellence, volunteer service, or meaningful community engagement.
• Plan to pursue a degree in environmental science, environmental policy, conservation, marine biology, or a closely related field.
“We’re excited to review the applications and know that we’re playing a role in empowering the next generation of environmental stewards,” Stull-Wise said.
Students can submit their applications by accessing XELLO via their ClassLink accounts.
