Camp Scholarships

The Middle Republican NRD awards scholarships to high school students residing within the District who qualify for all the guidelines outlined in the camp application. Scholarships are available to students attending the Nebraska Range Youth Camp, or the Sanhills Academy. Other camps or workshops dealing with natural resources topics may qualify pending the approval of the MRNRD Board of Directors. One scholarship from each of the five counties in the MRNRD is available each year and the scholarship amount is equal to the camp registration fee.
