2001 Diversity Scholarship Award Application

Environmental Educators of North Carolina (EENC) is proud to offer five (5) educators the opportunity to attend the Annual Conference and receive a one-year professional memebership through the generous financial support of EENC Organizational Member, Environmental Media.

Nominations are open for deserving educators of color (i.e. ethnic origin) who demonstrate a sincere interest in environmental education (EE). The EENC Diversity Scholarship funds up to $100.00 towards registration to EENC's 11th Annual Conference to be held September 28-30, 2001 at Camp Kanuga in Hendersonville, NC. The Diversity Scholarship can be used to offset the full three (3) days conference registration fee up to $80.00, which also includes one-year professional membership, valued at $20.00, a total of $100.00.

The purpost 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 Environmental Media, 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.
