Interested students can obtain a scholarship application from their school guidance counselor.

The Memphremagog watershed is an area of 687 square miles surrounding Lake Memphremagog in which water from all mountains, hills, fields, and rivers drain into the lake. Soils and vegetation in the watershed filter the moving waters, with benefits to water quality, erosion control, and wildlife habitat. The MWA manages projects to restore and preserve wetlands, streams, and forests on private and public lands.
