This scholarship honors Fulton Thompson Cousins (1938-2017), who worked in sawmills, ran a feed mill, operated an egg and hog farm, built a campground, and founded Woodland Heights Ltd., a construction business. He was known for his ingenuity and served on the board of the Atlantic Land Improvement Contractors Association (ALICA) for many years.

ALICA established this scholarship in memory of Fulton Cousins to honor his legacy of environmental stewardship and land improvement.
