The Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers, a
nonprofit organization, is offering two scholarships of $800, one
to an undergraduate and one to a graduate student, to be awarded
for the fall academic term, 2008. As a professional association of
communicators, AGLOW seeks to conserve, improve and promote
our natural resources and outdoor recreational experiences by
informing and educating the public through mass media.
AGLOW will reward an outstanding student who is
working toward a degree in outdoor communications. The ideal
candidate is a person with outdoor interests who wants to become a
professional in outdoor communications. That candidate should
