The Great Lakes Commission is pleased to announce a scholarship opportunity for students with an interest in electronic communications technology and its applications in the Great Lakes region. The scholarship is in memory of Carol A. Ratza, a veteran employee of the Great Lakes Commission and a staunch supporter of the lakes. The eligible student must have a demonstrated interest in the environmental or economic applications of electronic communications technology, exhibit academic excellence, and have a sincere appreciation for the Great Lakes and their protection.
Electronic submissions are welcome and encouraged.
The scholarship will be awarded in a single payment at that time. The Carol A. Ratza Memorial Scholarship is supported by donations and an annual appropriation of the Great Lakes Commission. The Great Lakes Commission is a nonpartisan, interstate compact agency created by state and federal law and dedicated to promoting a clean environment, strong economy, and high quality of life for the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence region and its residents. The Commission consists of state legislators, agency officials and governors' appointees from its eight member states.
