PA CleanWays is now accepting applications for the Sue Wiseman Scholarship, an annual $1,000 scholarship that honors a youth who has demonstrated outstanding commitment and dedication to the environment.

Applications are due May 1.

The Sue Wiseman Scholarship is open to Pennsylvania youth, ages 16-21, who have initiated and carried out personal project(s) that address littering, illegal dumping, recycling, proper disposal, beautification, or education. An education project must address one of the other topics listed.

The scholarship is named for Sue Wiseman, whose own commitment and dedication to a cleaner environment led to the founding of PA CleanWays, a statewide nonprofit organization empowering people to eliminate illegal dumping and littering in Pennsylvania.
