This scholarship will cover the cost of registration for the American Birding Association’s Camp Colorado ($1449), ABA student membership ($25), and travel costs to/from Colorado (up to $350). Scholarship recipients will also receive a year’s membership in the Morro Coast Audubon Society.

These youth scholarships are made possible by generous donations from the San Luis Obispo County community. You can donate to this scholarship HERE! Thanks!
