OWRA Educational Grant Information & Application

---

Proceeds from OWRA's Annual Conference Raffle go into a grant fund to provide educational opportunities. OWRA subsidizes this fund with money received from the Ohio Division of Wildlife's Wildlife Diversity Grant and proceeds received from participation in Earth Share of Ohio.

As a limited amount of funding is available for grants, only those who would not

otherwise be able to attend the conference are encouraged to apply.

Recipients will be notified by October 8, 2010.
