Tuition support for Connecticut residents or an immediate family member pursuing a career as an Environmental professional in Connecticut.
Any environmental field
EPOC recognizes its duty to assist in the education of individuals planning a career in the environmental industry. The Scholarship Fund is financed through the support of EPOC programs, proceeds from golf tournaments, and direct contributions from individuals and companies. EPOC is a non-profit organization, and as such, contributions to the Scholarship Fund are tax deductible for most firms. Unlike many other organizations, 100% of your contributions go in the EPOC Scholarship Fund. A committee of volunteers who support its goals and ideals manages the fund.
