To qualify, students must:
- Be enrolled in a post-secondary degree or diploma program during the 2023-2024 academic year

- Reside in or attend a post-secondary institution within TRCA’s jurisdiction
Students who are currently employed by TRCA or who are immediate family members or relatives of TRCA employees, TRCA board members, or Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation board members are not eligible to apply.
To apply, applicants must submit the following:
- Scholarship application form
- One 500-word essay outlining how the applicant demonstrates the values of The Living City — where human settlement can flourish forever as part of nature’s beauty and diversity
- Two letters of reference, including one academic reference and one work-related reference
Review and Selection Process
Submissions will be reviewed by Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation’s volunteer selection committee. Special consideration will be given to students who demonstrate leadership through volunteer and extracurricular activities.
While academic excellence is important, scholarships will not necessarily be awarded to students with the highest marks. Scholarship winners will be well-rounded leaders who are active in their communities and epitomize the ideals of conservation.
The committee’s award decisions will be final.
Scholarship winners will be invited to submit a photo and impact statement for distribution on Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation’s social media channels.
