With just over a decade left to prevent irreversible damage caused by climate change on our planet, the value of a degree in sustainability<\/a> has never been higher. All across the country, there is a heightened need for qualified sustainability professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s help promote sustainability by creating scholarships for students!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, companies and organizations like Annie\u2019s Homegrown, the Solar Action Alliance, and the Garden Club of America offer scholarships to promote sustainability. But there\u2019s more that can be done, so we have made it our mission to convince companies to create sustainability scholarships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been involved in promoting efforts to save our planet since 2015 when the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and we sponsored #ShareTheGoals Scholarship<\/a> for three years with the goal to help raise awareness of the importance of achieving the SDGs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sustainability Scholarship is one of five TUN mission scholarships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just last year, GCA awarded $377,500 in scholarships to 73 students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 28 scholarships vary in terms of value, eligibility, deadlines, and requirements, but the organization\u2019s website is easy to navigate and digest. All it takes is a few minutes on the organization\u2019s website for students to find the perfect scholarship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
