SCHOLARSHIPSNOTICE: Our Strategic Plan includes a goal to ensure that our scholarships are sustainable. Scholarship funds are more robust when they’re endowed. In an effort to work toward sustainability, we are reviewing our scholarship process in order to provide consistent support for emerging outdoor leaders and educators. We will keep you updated as we make decisions about how to move forward. The WEA Board of Directors has issued a hold on the giving of scholarships until an endowment plan is in place. Consider contributing toward the endowment of these funds by giving today.* Kitty Drury Memorial ScholarshipEstablished in 1989, the Drury Scholarship for Instructor Development was made possible by the creation of a permanent fund in memory of WEA founding member Katharine "Kitty" Drury. The Drury Scholarship is a funding source to benefit aspiring outdoor leaders who wish to further their professional development as participants on WEA courses related to becoming a WEA Outdoor Educator. Drury Scholarships for Instructor Development are awarded for course costs or expenses associated with participating in any of the following: Certified Outdoor Leader or Outdoor Educator programs or courses associated with attaining Certifying Examiner status. Secondary consideration will be allowed for Outdoor Leadership Training Courses (OLTC) or for Wilderness First Responder certification or recertification. Pete Petersen Memorial Scholarship
