The Marjot Foundation of Falmouth announces a new competition for environmental research grants from high school students. The deadline is Oct. 15 and each grant is $5,000. Marjot has been honored to support students from Martha’s Vineyard in the past.

Marjot is solely supported by private individuals and foundations and receives no public funding. Previous awardees have won numerous awards at the local, state, regional and national levels.

To apply for an award, students must develop a hypothesis-based research plan focusing on environmental issues. Awards are competitive. For more information, contact marjotfoundation.org.
