ENVIRONMENTAL SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS

ABOUT

The Middleton Stream Team is a non-profit 501c3 tax exempt all-volunteer service organization formed originally as a small volunteer group in 1998. Our mission is environmental stewardship, primarily in those parts of the Ipswich River Watershed’s River, streams and wetlands which are located in Middleton MA. We are committed to promoting, conserving, protecting, improving and expanding the natural, scenic and historical resources and recreational opportunities as well as to fostering the responsible use and enjoyment of these resources by the public. The Team’s mission is accomplished in works of education, public service, conservation and advocacy. The Middleton Stream Team interfaces with local and regional environmental, community, school and youth groups; and with town government; and serves all the community.

To further its mission, the Middleton Stream Team recognizes the need to protect the environment for future generations so it has established a yearly fund used to award an outstanding Middleton high school senior who has demonstrated an interest in protecting the environment now and for the future. 100% of the award money donated goes directly to the student for educational purposes in helping them reach their goals.  

The deadline for application for the scholarship is April 1, 2025 and applicants will be notified by May 1, 2025.
