Keep Iowa Beautiful is offering three $1,000 scholarships to high school seniors planning to attend an Iowa college or university in 2025. These scholarships honor individuals who have significantly contributed to Iowa communities and align with the organization’s mission to inspire respect and pride for local environments.
The Byers Scholarship supports students studying environmental science, community development, or landscape architecture with a historical focus. It was established in memory of Bob Byers, who dedicated his life to youth and environmental causes.
The Schnepf Scholarship is available to students with a strong record of community service and a desire to enhance their local areas. This scholarship honors Gerry Schnepf, Keep Iowa Beautiful’s founding Executive Director, who devoted his career to making Iowa a better place to live and work.
The Fultz Scholarship is aimed at students focusing on communications, public relations, or marketing. It recognizes William J. Fultz, a founding board member of Keep Iowa Beautiful and a leader in the advertising industry.
Applications are open until January 31, 2025, with winners to be announced in April. For more information or to apply, visit Keep Iowa Beautiful’s website.
