Blyth is pleased to announce its 2009 International Summer Scholarship Program. This year, in celebration of Blyth’s sponsorship of the ROM’s presentation of Darwin: The Evolution Revolution, an additional scholarship has been set up to send an upper-year high school student on our Amazon and the Galapagos Islands program. Please follow the directions below to apply; your short essay, however, should explore Charles Darwin and his influence upon modern society and why you feel passionate about Darwin and the Galapagos Islands.
