We are proud to announce the recipients of the 2023 Michael B. Whitfield Scholarship: Eleanor Hancock and Aiden Hardy!

Teton Regional Land Trust created this scholarship in honor of Michael B. Whitfield who helped found the organization in 1990 and served as its Executive Director for 18 years. Michael’s passion for and commitment to land conservation in eastern Idaho has been instrumental in the preservation of key landscapes in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The scholarship is available to graduating high school seniors who show an intention to pursue a major course of study in college or vocational school in the environmental sciences, biology, ecology, environmental planning or policy, agriculture, or a related field.

Here is a little bit about Eleanor in her own words:

"My name is Eleanor Hancock, and I am a senior at Madison High School in Rexburg, where I have lived as long as I can remember. I first learned outdoorsmanship and botany during two years of monthly campouts with my dad, and then worked at Island Park Scout Camp for another three summers teaching scouts and adults alike about our native ecosystem. I’ve competed in the National Speech and Debate Association (mainly in Informative Speaking) winning the State Championship and attending two National tournaments with a speech about Yellowstone. Junior year I participated in our school’s interdisciplinary Environmental Solutions program, and then this year I was one of the program’s T.A.s. I also adore all types of science and art, am a member of my school’s audition mixed choir and the theater program, and look forward to attending Brigham Young University this fall."

And here is a message from Aiden, a senior at Skyline High School in Idaho Falls:

"My parents raised me outside. I run rivers and dirt. I like collecting hot wheels, tying flies, and listening to any music that isn't country. I am running cross country for Utah Tech University this fall. I also plan to study Environmental Engineering to give back to the wild that raised me."

Thank you to all of the outstanding students who applied, and congratulations to Eleanor and Aiden!
