## About this scholarship

The McBride African Internship, provided by the Aspen Community Foundation, is an experiential learning program designed for high school students who demonstrate a strong interest in conservation. To be eligible, applicants must attend Aspen, Basalt, Bridges, Roaring Fork, Glenwood Springs, or Yampah high schools. The program supports educational travel by funding two-week internships at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya, where students can engage directly with wildlife and conservation education. 

Because this program is an experiential learning internship rather than a traditional college tuition scholarship, it does not require students to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or a state financial aid application. Instead, interested students must apply directly through the provider's designated process. For current dates and detailed application instructions, candidates should see the official page.
