Carol Treadwell Scholarship Fund
The PWS Science Center is pleased to announce the establishment of the Carol Treadwell Scholarship Fund. Full and partial scholarships are available for the Summer of 2009. Please download the application form below and tell us more about your child's needs and interests.
The Carol Treadwell Scholarship Fund is established through the Carol Treadwell Fund of the Millennium Scholars Program, created to support K-12 science and geography education in Alaska and brain-tumor research worldwide.
Carol Treadwell died in October 2002 after battling a brain tumor for more than two years. Mother to three children, Carol was a very vibrant and curious woman dedicated to her family, friends and the world around her. Among the qualities she believed important to instill in her children are an obligation to serve the world, a thirst for adventure, a sense of humor and the persistence to get good things done.
Carol first visited Prince William Sound shortly after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. She and her husband, Mead, were early and longtime supporters of the Prince William Sound Science Center .
The scholarship fund established in her name offers opportunities for students to experience some of the hikes, kayaking and camping that Carol loved, along with engendering the curiosity and adventure that was so much a part of her.
