Additional Scholarships (Not Sponsored by OASWCDE)

NCDEA Don Aron Scholarship
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. 


Donations are being accepted for the Scholarship Fund to help district employees and their families who are majoring in agriculture and agriculture-related studies.
