The Marjot Foundation awards Marjot Scholar grants to a few New England high-school students each year to conduct environmental research, either solo or in teams. Each grant of $5000 is composed of $1000 to the student(s), $1000 to an adult mentor (teacher or scientist), $500 to the school’s science department, and $2500 for supplies. Applications for next year are due April 20 and must include a brief research proposal (~2 pages) in any area of environmental research, a letter of recommendation from the mentor of the student(s), and a budget proposal. Accepted students are expected to participate in a science fair during the course of their projects, submit a mid-year report, and submit a final report of their research covering all steps of the scientific method
