Michael S. Lawton Environmental Scholarship
Foundation for Long Island State Parks

This program includes a $2,000 scholarship in addition to a paid summer internship (if the funding exists) in the Long Island Region of New York State Parks.

This opportunity provides valuable experience in a variety of environmental disciplines, including endangered species management, natural resource management, environmental education and interpretive sciences. Some students intern at beach front parks where they monitor the federally threatened piping plover; others work in the environmental office on regional environmental issues. There are also opportunities for those majoring in science education.

Please contact Annie McIntyre (Annie.McIntyre@parks.ny.gov; 631.581.1072) for more information or an application. The application deadline is January 27, 2012.
