Eco-Challenge Student Grant Program
www.filterforgood.ca
|
As part of its 2009 FilterForGood campaign, Brita has partnered with the award-winning organization Students on Ice (SOI) to launch the FilterForGood Eco-Challenge Student Grant Program. Through this program, Brita will send three of Canada's most promising young environmentalists on a life-changing educational expedition to the Arctic with Students on Ice this July. On the expedition, students will learn about climate change and environmental degradation with leading researchers and scientists in one of the world's greatest classrooms. They will experience nature in ways they've only dreamed and will see the planet with new perspectives as they are introduced to Inuit culture, and make connections with the natural world.
To apply, high school students are asked to visit FilterForGood.ca and submit a 2-4 minute video that showcases their leadership and what they are doing in their community to help protect the environment and tell us why they think they would benefit from an Arctic expedition.
Submission deadline: June 7, 2009
