In order to foster an interest in, and appreciation for, birding and ornithology in Pennsylvania, each year the PSO provides a scholarship for a person 18 years of age or younger OR an undergraduate college student who wishes to attend the PSO annual meeting.
The person must be nominated by a current PSO member. If the nominee is younger than 18, a parent, legal guardian, or a person designated by the parent or legal guardian, must accompany the young birder scholarship recipient to the Annual PSO Meeting. You may not nominate someone without their knowledge or permission.
PSO will pay the recipient’s and accompanying adult’s meeting registration, food (Saturday banquet dinner, Saturday lunch, Saturday and Sunday breakfasts), lodging (up to 2 nights), and transportations costs to and from the meeting, and field trips.
