Raina Fulks Memorial Scholarship
On November 8, 2018, the Gallia Soil and Water Conservation District dedicated this scholarship to Raina Fulks who was an avid environmentalist that passed in November 2018. She served as Gallia’s Floodplain Administrator for 6 years and served Meigs SWCD for 7 years as their Watershed Coordinator for Leading Creek. The Raina Fulks Memorial Scholarship offers an opportunity for college-bound agricultural and/or natural resources students. This scholarship program recognizes a deserving student with a long-term career interest in agriculture and/or natural resources and rewards them with funding to assist with his/her college education.
The Gallia Soil and Water Conservation District is pleased to announce the 2025 Raina Fulks Memorial Scholarship is now available for students.
It is a $500 scholarship for a student attending college with an interest in agriculture or natural resources; this includes Environmental Sciences too. If their major is in question, they are encouraged to still apply. Deadline to have all pieces of the application turned in is April 25th. Please return to 111 Jackson Pike Suite 1569 Gallipolis, Ohio 45631 by 4pm.
