2025 Stewardship Scholarships
SUWA acknowledges the structural barriers many communities face when seeking solace in wild, natural places. Our Stewardship Scholarship program offers scholarships to youth and young adults who join an immersive stewardship project on public lands in Utah with SUWA. Scholars join a multi-day project, work with other volunteers and SUWA staff, and learn about wilderness management hands-on in wild places.
Eligibility
Applicants are selected from historically underserved communities, self-identified by each applicant within the scholarship application. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate a need for financial support. Scholars attend (1) stewardship project with SUWA staff and other volunteers. Following the project, scholars also receive a (1) year membership to SUWA and access to additional opportunities to learn more about our organization, public lands and wilderness in Utah. Upon completion of the program, SUWA awards a $450 scholarship.
Camping gear and other supplies, as well as transportation to and from the project site may also be provided upon request. Select meals and additional food are provided. Opportunities for carpooling and gas stipends are also offered.
Scholarships are available to individuals and organized partner groups.
