Dear NHEC Members, Students,

Supporters, and Friends

The National Hispanic Environmental Council

(NHEC) is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications from

college students (in a wide variety of disciplines related to the

environment, natural resources, agriculture, and energy) interested in

receiving a prestigious “Travel Scholarship†to attend our upcoming 9th

Annual “National Hispanic Sustainable Energy & Environmental

Conferenceâ€, to be held April 3-6, 2004, in Albuquerque, NM.

 

The Conference features 30 workshops; a major

Career Fair (with on-the-spot hiring taking place); site visits to

environmental facilities; and the opportunity to network with hundreds

of fellow Hispanic/minority environmental students and professionals

from around the country.

 

To apply for the Travel Scholarship, students

must mail the following: a current resume, with GPA; a copy of your

college transcripts; and a one page essay that explains your careers

goals and how you intend to use what you learn in the future.

 

The scholarship is open to both graduate and

undergraduate students in majors related to the environment. This year,

NHEC is particularly seeking applications from sophomores and

juniors. In addition, teens who have participated in the past in

the NHEC “Minority Youth Environmental Training Institute†are also

welcome to apply.

 

The Travel Scholarship will cover nearly all

costs for a student, including transportation (typically airfare); 3-4

nights hotel; most meals; conference printed materials; and some

incidentals. There is no fee to apply, and only a $25 registration

fee if selected.

 

If you are interested in applying, go to the

NHEC web page at www.nheec.org for

more details.  Make sure you read the materials

thoroughly, and follow all the instructions -- before applying! This

will greatly increase your chance of receiving a scholarship. Students

are urged to mail in their applications as soon as possible, as

scholarships are going fast.

 

The Conference will be held at the Marriott

Pyramid North Hotel, in Albuquerque, NM. For professionals, the rates

are $97 per night for a single/double room. For reservations, call the

Marriott toll free number at 800-262-2043, or the hotel directly at

505-821-3333. Call soon, as rooms at this rate are going fast. For more

info, including the “Preliminary Programâ€, go to our web page at www.nheec.org.

 

If you are a professor, teacher, or work with

students, we ask you to forward this email on to colleagues and/or

college students whom you think may be interested in this unique

opportunity.

 

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you

in Albuquerque!

 

President, NHEC
