Hello!



We are reaching out to staff of local colleges near the Utom watershed in
Southern California to let you know about a scholarship
<https://utomriverconservation.org/scholarships-2/>/fellowship
<https://utomriverconservation.org/scholarship-program-b/> opportunity for
your students through the Utom Conservation Fund
<https://utomriverconservation.org/>.  We would love if you can share
information about the opportunity with your students!



An alliance of cultural and environmental organizations launched the
program for students committed to the protection of Southern California’s
signature river, the Utom (Santa Clara) river. The Utom Conservation Fund
Scholarship and Fellowship program will be awarded to high school seniors,
undergraduate and graduate school students committed to researching and
preserving the cultural values and ecological function of the Utom
watershed.



Utom, or Phantom River, was named by the Chumash people because water flow
can come and go like a phantom. Also known as the Santa Clara River, the
116-mile-long river flows from the Angeles National Forest in northern Los
Angeles County to the Pacific Ocean near Oxnard in Ventura County. It is
the largest Southern California watershed that is still in a relatively
natural state and features rich biodiversity. California red-legged frogs,
unarmored threespine sticklebacks and more than 110 special-status plants
and animals rely on Utom.



The scholarship and fellowship fund is managed by the Center for Biological
Diversity, Wishtoyo Chumash Foundation, Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians
and the California Native Plant Society.



*There will be 25 scholarships worth $2,000 each awarded to incoming high
school seniors and undergraduate students from junior colleges or four-year
universities. The fellowships are for graduate students pursuing a master’s
degree or doctorate in an environmental field and planning on a research
project specific to the Utom watershed. There will be scholarships worth
$12,500 each awarded to four graduate students. *



Special consideration will be given to underserved students and students
from federally unrecognized tribes.



The Utom Conservation Fund was established with settlement money from
litigation to protect this unique watershed. Visit UtomRiverConservation.org
