One will be awarded to a student at Delaware Valley High School in Pennsylvania, and two will be awarded to students currently residing in Pike, Monroe, and Wayne Counties in Pennsylvania; Western Sussex County, New Jersey; and/or Western Orange County, New York. This opportunity will also be open to Forest Service Job Corps Center students nationwide.
