John Scarano Memorial Scholarship

Encouraging students who are investing their future in the environment

JOHN SCARANO, our dear friend and colleague, passed away suddenly on Jan. 4, 2011. John truly was a foundational pillar of GA-AHMP and a champion for its growth and success; it is impossible to state how much he will be missed.

In honor of our dear friend and his gift for teaching, GA-AHMP established the JOHN SCARANO MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP to annually award scholarships to deserving college students majoring in EH&S-related fields of study. This year, GA-AHMP will award up to four $1,000 scholarships to students in graduate and undergraduate environmental programs at institutions in Georgia.
