High school seniors invited to apply for Ducks Unlimited Scholarships

Ducks Unlimited (DU) has opened its 2025–2026 National Scholarship Program, offering 61 one-time scholarships to graduating high school seniors who are DU members and demonstrate outstanding dedication to wetlands conservation.

The program awards: 50 Varsity Scholarships at $500 each, ten Conservation Scholarships at $1,000 each, and one National Scholarship valued at $10,000.

Eligible students must be DU members, maintain a 2.8 GPA or higher, and show active participation in a DU Varsity (high school) club or local community chapter. Applicants must submit a transcript, volunteer history, letters of recommendation, and a short essay describing how their outdoor experiences have shaped their appreciation for wetlands conservation.

The application deadline is March 1, 2026, and recipients will be announced in the spring. Scholarships will be paid directly to the student’s college, university, or trade school, and honorees will be featured in Ducks Unlimited magazine.
