Grey Towers Legacy Scholarship

Grey Towers National Historic Site was home to Gifford Pinchot, the first chief of the USDA Forest Service and two-term Pennsylvania Governor. Grey Towers is located in Milford, Pennsylvania and was constructed in 1886 by Gifford’s father, James W. Pinchot, a successful businessman and philanthropist. During the early 20th
century, Gifford and James used Grey Towers and the surrounding environs to develop conservation leaders and formulate conservation principles. Amos Pinchot, Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, and other Pinchot family members were equally active and made considerable contributions in women’s rights, civil rights, and labor
reform movements.

In an effort to continue this Pinchot Legacy, the Grey Towers Legacy Scholarship was created to support the pursuit of new ideas, strategies, and solutions in the fields of natural resources, science, economics, ecology, education, and social sciences.

Eligible Applicants: The scholarship is open to graduating public high school seniors with a 2.5 GPA pursuing a career in natural resources, science, economics, ecology, social science, and/or education at an accredited 2-year or 4-year university, community college, or technical school.

• Pike County, Pennsylvania

The scholarship will also be open to graduating students currently attending a Forest Service operated Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center.
