NEHA’s readable official page describes undergraduate and graduate NEHA/AAS scholarships and says the 2026 applications are closed. It directs readers to check for a 2027 period; that new cycle is not confirmed here. Official program
Match the applicant route
| Route | Published distinction |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate | Relevant recognized curriculum or qualifying coursework; junior/senior stage with at least 60 credits in the stated cycle |
| Graduate | Environmental-health curriculum and completed graduate coursework; NEHA/affiliate membership required |
| Both | Career intent and institution/geographic conditions in the full terms |
The page lists two $2,650 undergraduate awards and one $3,750 graduate award for the displayed program. Do not assume future values remain unchanged.
Verify program fit
Give the provider your actual degree and relevant course information. Do not describe a broad environmental major as qualifying professional coursework without confirmation.
Ask an adviser which academic route applies; the scholarship page is not a determination of examination or professional credential eligibility.
An original fit example
Imagine an environmental-policy student and an environmental-health student. Both may care about safe communities, but their curricula can meet different award rules. The useful question is about the actual coursework and provider definition, not whether their interests sound similar.
The example establishes no individual’s eligibility.
Prepare the required evidence
NEHA requests a faculty letter, transcript, résumé and two short responses about goals and anticipated contributions. Its instructions value the student’s own words and perspective. Do not submit an AI-written personal response as though it were your own vision.
Keep paid and volunteer work accurately labeled. Ask the faculty contributor to address the actual program question.
Do not turn evaluation preferences into requirements
The page distinguishes some weighted preferences from mandatory conditions. Read the complete current evaluation rather than rejecting yourself or claiming eligibility from one row.
Next action
Confirm the 2027 announcement, verify the exact curriculum and membership route and collect the current requested materials. Keep broader environmental funding in a separately labeled list.
Program details reflect the source review supplied in Linear. Confirm the provider’s current requirements before applying.
