East Texas Beekeepers Association, Inc.
Youth Scholarship Program
The importance of Beekeeping to our economy and ecology cannot be overstated. The art of Beekeeping is dying as the number of active beekeepers (both commercial and hobbyist) is diminishing. The ETBA sponsors a special scholarship program to encourage young people to develop an interest in Beekeeping. Any young person ages 12 to 17 may apply for a scholarship. If successful, the recipient of the scholarship will be awarded the equipment, bees, educational opportunity and experienced assistance in caring for a beehive for one year.
