Three Rivers Soil and Water Conservation District provides and supports four different scholarships for students local to King William, King & Queen, and Essex counties. These scholarships are for students who are pursuing a degree in agriculture or natural resources, or that come from a farming background. The winners of the Three Rivers SWCD scholarships include:

Earl H. & Anna K. Longest Memorial Scholarship

Along with our local scholarships, we help to promote the Larkin Hundley Memorial Endowment, administered by Colonial Farm Credit. This scholarship is valued at $2,000, and is aimed towards Essex County residents with an agriculture background or pursuing agriculture, forestry, or an environmental science degree. This year’s recipient is Arria Gross.

Congratulations to all of the recipients!
