Megan Townsend, a junior in Environmental and Ecological Engineering, was the chosen recipient of the Partners scholarship.
Partners started a scholarship fund in honor of the “20 years of Pollution Prevention in Indiana” that was celebrated at this year’s conference. Three schools were chosen to receive the scholarships: Purdue University, Ball State University, and Indiana University. Each school selected a student to receive the scholarship based on the following criteria:
- an undergraduate student at one of these three schools
- an Indiana resident
- interested in pursuing industrial sustainability and/or pollution prevention in industry
