Texas State students studying environmental or earth sciences are encouraged to apply for a chance to earn $10,000 toward their education. The deadline to apply is May 16.
The “Every Drop Counts” Earth Science Scholarship Fund was created in 2002 through Ozarka and parent company Primo Water’s partnership with The Meadows Center for Water and Environment.
The center hosted the 12th Annual Earth Day San Marcos Festival at Spring Lake on Saturday, April 19.
The community event celebrated local natural resources and featured various hands-on educational activities suitable for people of all ages. Eco-friendly exhibitors and vendors showcased a range of environmental and sustainability-related topics through demonstrations.
