Baltimore, MD (December 1, 2015<\/span><\/span>) \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The Maryland Department of the Environment is now accepting applications for the 2016 Environmental Science Student Award and Internship Program.<\/p>\n

\n

The Award recognizes high school seniors who have excelled in environmental science both inside and outside the classroom. Students who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership and participation in environmental projects in school or their community such as recycling drives, school beautification projects, stream or litter cleanups and other types of environmental projects are encouraged to apply. The grand prize winner will receive a paid internship at Department of Environment during summer 2016 (approximately valued at $3,000). The second-place winner will receive $500 and the third-place winner will receive $250. All three will receive a certificate for their efforts.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cOur future relies on the student environmental leaders of today,\u201d said Secretary Ben Grumbles. \u201cIt is my hope that our Environmental Science Student Award and Internship Program will encourage those who are interested in science, technology, and engineering to continue their education and proactively participate in activities that support the environment. This internship program provides students with many opportunities to learn new skills and hone their strengths in a real world situation. We are excited to nurture the next generation of environmental scientists here at Department of the Environment.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
