Congratulations to undergraduate students with the School of Natural Resources and Extension who received scholarships for the coming year.

The scholarships range from $600 to $3,200.  A SNRE scholarship committee recommends students for the scholarships based on their criteria, and UAF notifies the students. The recipients are:
