The BBC is pleased to announce that we will again offer two Young Birder Scholarships to nurture interest in bird study and conservation among young birders. The 2020 scholarships will cover the full cost ($1395) of the Coastal Maine Bird Studies for Teens program at National Audubon’s Hog Island camp on June 16-21, 2020. The cost includes housing, boat travel, and all meals. Scholarship recipients will be responsible for transportation costs to and from the camp.

All completed applications and references must be received by the BBC by February 15, 2020 so don’t delay.
