Zepko Audubon Camp Scholarship 2018
The Connecticut Ornithological Association (COA) is pleased to announce that through the great generosity of one of our founding members, George W. Zepko , we now are offering one Zepko Audubon Camp Scholarship in 2018 to nurture interest in bird study and conservation among young birders. When George was a teenager, he received a scholarship to the Audubon Camp of Maine (now known as the Hog Island Audubon Camp), which started his life-long interest in birds and natural history. He has made it possible for COA to offer a similar opportunity to new generations of birders and naturalists.
The 2018 scholarship will cover the full cost ($1,395.00) of the Coastal Maine Bird Studies for Teens program at National Audubon’s Hog Island camp during the week of June 17-22, 2018. The cost includes housing, boat travel, and all meals. The scholarship recipient will be responsible for the cost of transportation to and from the camp.
Applicants must be a Connecticut resident, ages 14-17, and must submit a written application and two letters of reference. Preference will be given to applicants with individual or family COA membership. To be considered a member, an applicant may join the club at the time of application.

Completed applications and references must be received by the COA by January 31, 2018.
