What the award is: The Terry Newendorp Environmental Scholarship is a gift that was established by Terry Newendorp, an avid fisherman and conservationist who with generosity and foresight knew that “protection of the Gunpowder River had to come from future generations.”
Founded in 2018, the Award’s purpose is to assist college-bound high school seniors, who will be entering a two year or four year course of study, excel in their studies and who plan to use their talents and expertise in the service of environmental protection. Each year, at least one winner will be chosen from among the current year’s graduating class. The award will provide $1,000 towards college costs for students with strong connections to the Gunpowder River Watershed.
