Francis Casella Wildlife Management Scholarship

The Francis Casella Wildlife Management Scholarship is offered through the Petaluma Educational Foundation to support high school students pursuing careers in wildlife management and conservation. This scholarship is available to students who have participated in FFA, PHS Wildlife Museum, or Casa Grande Fish Hatchery programs and plan to pursue degrees in fish and game management or conservation of wildlife. The scholarship provides $500 to eligible students attending local high schools in the Petaluma area who maintain at least a 2.0 GPA. Recipients may use the funds at trade schools, apprenticeship/certificate programs, 2-year colleges, or 4-year colleges. This opportunity recognizes students with demonstrated interest in wildlife conservation through their extracurricular involvement and supports their transition to post-secondary education in related fields.
