Environmental Educators of
North Carolina (EENC) is proud to offer educators the opportunity to attend the Annual Conference and
receive a one-year professional membership through our scholarship program. Nominations are open for
deserving educators of diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds who demonstrate a sincere interest
in environmental education.
The EENC Diversity Scholarship funds up to $150.00
towards registration for EENC's 13th Annual Conference to be held September 6-8, 2003 at the Haw River
Program in Brown Summit, North Carolina. The scholarship covers $125 for 3-day conference registration
and $25 for a one-year professional EENC membership.
The purpose of EENC Diversity Scholarships is to ensure
that financial contraints do not prevent participation in the Annual Conference and that this year's conference
adequately reflects the breadth and diversity of the EE field. It is the belief of EENC and the North
American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) that when equity is practiced by inviting diverse
peoples to be seated, welcomed, and accepted as full participants at the table, a richer dialogue develops.
The dialogue in EE will only meet its full potential when a broad and intentionally considered representation
of all peoples is actively involved in the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of EE. NAAEE
has provided grant funding to supplement EENC's existing scholarship program in order to promote greater
diversity at our conference and in our membership.
