Scholarships for Wetland Delineation Refresher Course

The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and Montana Wetland Council has funding to sponsor up to five individuals to attend the Wetland Training Institute (WTI) Wetland Delineation Refresher Course June 1 – 2, 2022 in Helena, Montana. This course is designed for those who would like a refresher on wetland delineation field practices. More information on the course can be found at: https://wetlandtraining.com/course/wetland-delineation-refresher/.  Along with covering the cost of the registration, DEQ will also cover lodging for one night in Helena, at the state rate, for those receiving a scholarship. Depending on interest and need, a combination of scholarships may be used to fund one participant for the full WTI Basic Wetland Delineation Course and 2 participants for the Wetland Delineation Refresher.

 Those interested in applying for this opportunity must complete the online scholarship application. Applicants representing Tribal Nations in Montana will be given preference as the Montana Wetland Council identified, through our strategic planning process, the need to increase our engagement and collaboration with our Tribal Nation partners. All qualified applicants will be considered regardless of political affiliation, race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability, or other non-merit factors. 

 Completed scholarship applications must be received no later than January 21, 2022. Incomplete application will not be accepted.
