The NCDEA Scholarship has been established in memory of Don Aron, who worked to organize the National Conservation District Employees Association. He also helped to establish the by-laws and served as the first President of our organization from 1992-1993.
The objective of the scholarship program is to provide financial support to a District Employee or member of their immediate family who is participating in a resource conservation curriculum while enrolled in an accredited college or university. Visit NCDEA for more information. Application Donations are being sought for a Scholarship Fund to help district employees and their families who are majoring in agriculture and agriculture-related studies. |
