William J. Paris Conservation Scholarship

William (Bill) Paris was a lifelong resident, farmer and sportsman of Louisa County who had a deep appreciation for the area's natural resources.  Following Bill's death in 2009, his family chose to recognize Bill's life and his commitment to conservation by establishing the William J. Paris Conservation Scholarship.  The objective of the scholarship is to provide financial support to Louisa County students who share Bill's commitment and appreciation of natural resources/conservation.

This $500 scholarship is awarded annually to a Louisa County high school graduate or Louisa County resident planning to attend an Iowa college, university or technical school.  Applicants who are pursuing a degree in education, conservation or natural resources are eligible to apply.  Scholarships may be awarded for graduate or post graduate degrees.
