NAI Region 10′s  David Weiss Memorial Scholarship Award
Deadline: July 31, 2010

Created to perpetuate the character, and in memory of, master interpreter David Weiss, this scholarship award will be given each year to one Region 10 member who’s skills emulate Ranger Dave’s in the areas of interpretation, environmental education/outreach, creativity and the ability to live by example. Because of the unique combination of award and scholarship you can nominate a qualified NAI Region 10 member or submit the application for yourself. The award consists of a commemorative plaque for the recipient to keep and the recipient’s name added to a living plaque on display at the Visitors Center of the US Army Corp of Engineers’ Bonneville Lock and Dam, located in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.

The Scholarship includes $700 for registration, travel, lodging or meals as you see fit to the up coming NAI National Workshop. To apply for the award, please visit the Region 10 scholarships page at www.nairegions.org/10/NIW_Scholarships.htm.
