 Introduction
The Sue Wiseman Scholarship recognizes the individual
accomplishments of young people who have demonstrated
outstanding commitment and dedication to the environment
and who have initiated and carried out a project(s)
that addresses littering, illegal dumping, recycling,
proper disposal, beautification, or education. An
education project must address one of the other topics
listed.
A
committee comprised of educators and environmental
professionals will select the winner. One scholarship
will be awarded per year. The winner will receive
a one-time scholarship in the amount of $1,000,
to be made
out to the college/university, trade or business
school of the winner's choice. If a school has not
been chosen, the scholarship will be held in escrow
until the winner's acceptance to a college/university,
trade or business school.
The
winner will be announced in September. PA CleanWays
reserves
the right to withhold or withdraw the scholarship
in the full amount if
the winner does not attend college within one year
after graduation.
The
scholarship is named for Sue Wiseman (above,
right), whose commitment and dedication to a cleaner
environment led to the founding of PA CleanWays. PA
CleanWays is a statewide non-profit environmental
organization empowering people to eliminate littering
and illegal dumping in Pennsylvania. Its community-based
approach has resulted in:
-
the
removal of hundreds of illegal dump sites throughout
the state,
-
the
involvement of tens of thousands of volunteers,
-
the
collection of thousands of tires and appliances
for recycling,
-
the
planting of thousands of trees in public areas
across the state, and
-
the
adoption of hundreds of local roads for litter
cleanups.
