If you are a loon researcher, an author of books about the natural world for adults or children, or are simply interested in loons or good literature, then you may want to know more about the award programs offered through the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute (SOEI).
Sigurd F. Olson, an influential American conservationist, researched wolves, helped shape national conservation policy, and wrote nine books about the North Country. In 1974, he won the John Burroughs Medal for his book, Wilderness Days.
To honor Olson’s literary legacy, the SOEI presents an annual nature writing award to an author whose book best captures the spirit of the human relationship with the natural world and promotes Olson’s values. Past award winners include Jim dale Huot-Vickery, Jim Brandenburg, David Dobbs and Richard Ober, Robert Treuer, Richard Nelson, Michael Van Stappen, Kathleen Dean Moore, Christopher Cokinos, Kim Todd, Robert Hunter, Jerry Dennis, Harry Thurston, Jonathan Waterman, Karsten Heuer, and Craig Childs. The SOEI also presents an annual nature writing award to a children’s author and illustrator whose book best captures the spirit of the human relationship with nature, and promotes the awareness, preservation, appreciation, or restoration of the natural world for future generations. Past award winners include Tony Johnston/Susan Guevara, Jacqueline Davis/Melissa Sweet, Consie Powell, Veronika Martenova Charles/Annouchka Gravel Galouchko and Stephen Daigle, and Rochelle Strauss/Rosemary Wood.

Each year the Appaloosa Youth Foundation awards thousands of dollars to youth who are pursuing higher education.
As many as eight scholarships of $1,000 each and one scholarship of $2,000 may be awarded to high school graduates, upperclassmen and graduate students who are members of the ApHC or are the son or daughter of an ApHC member.
The Appaloosa Youth Foundation awards six youth educational scholarships of up to $1,000 each, one from each of the six territories of the Appaloosa Horse Club. Another scholarship may be awarded at-large, and yet another to a winner from the previous year in the form of a continuing scholarship.
Another scholarship—The Sagebrush Circuit—Lew & JoAnn Eklund Educational Scholarship—is funded in its entirety by donations made by the Appaloosa Youth Foundation from the dissolution of funds of the Sagebrush Circuit. This scholarship, the highest attainable scholarship available from the Appaloosa Youth Foundation, is given to members of the ApHC or the son or daughter of an ApHC member, is awarded to a college junior, senior, or graduate student who is pursuing a degree in a major field of study that is closely related to the equine industry.
