The family of Craig Tufts, Family Summits, Inc. and National Wildlife Federation announces the 5th Annual Craig Tufts Educational Scholarship Award, which is given to a young person between the ages of 8 and 18 to attend a week-long, summer outdoor educational adventure camp with a parent or guardian. The Craig Tufts Educational Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Craig Tufts, Chief Naturalist of National Wildlife Federation.

Each year the Fund grants an award to one youth to attend a Family Nature Summit. The Fund provides travel, room and board and program fees for the award winner and an accompanying parent or guardian.

The contest is for anyone between the ages of 8 – 18 years old.  Applicants must submit an original essay about their favorite outdoor or nature-related activities describing how nature-related activities and experiences have impacted them.
