Scholarship application required. Deadline is April 1. Scholarship applicants must also submit a completed application for admission. Scholarship is awarded to two students based on the type and amount of environmental service and volunteerism the applicant has completed. The level of commitment to these activities the applicant has demonstrated is also a very important factor.

The scholarship covers tuition expenses at Sterling College for four years (8 semesters) or, in the case of a transfer student, until completion of the Bachelor of Arts degree, whichever comes first. Scholarship recipients must enroll full-time at Sterling College during the fall semester for which they are awarded the scholarship, stay enrolled continuously, live on campus, and maintain full-time status, a quality point average of a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, satisfactory effort grades, and satisfactory progress in the Work College Program.

Students receiving the Environmental Steward Scholarship are responsible for the cost of room, board, and fees.

Recipients of the Environmental Steward Scholarship are ineligible for other Sterling College grants and scholarships.
