Anchor QEA Scholarship Program

Anchor QEA's Scholarship Program helps graduate students pay for higher education to assist them in taking on the world's challenging environmental problems. Individual scholarship awards range in value from $1,000 to $10,000 and will be provided to the recipient's institution of higher learning to be disbursed to the student for graduate school tuition and supplies.
