C.R. "Dick" Meyers Memorial Scholarship - County Membership required for Scholarship
Della Ewalt Enrichment Scholarship - Members Only Scholarship
Della Ewalt Enrichment Scholarship
Our friend, Della Ewalt, exemplified what it means to be a friend, colleague, and leader. Della was always the first to volunteer in so many ways. Through her years with OALPRP she helped with training, by-laws, board development, and was a diligent secretary for the organization. For her local program, Della was tireless. Her program won numerous awards and recognitions at the local, state, and national level. Personally, Della loved the arts and traveling. She was always involved in some local theatre production. Even her program education was filled with puppets, skits, and songs. Della's travels were inspiring to all. She traveled to many countries, learning about their cultures while sharing our culture. Della Ewalt touched so many lives, both at home and around the world.
It is with Della's love of learning and life of adventure, that OALPRP has instituted the Della Ewalt Enrichment Scholarship fund. To pay honor and tribute, a scholarship may be awarded to “good standing” OALPRP member (members only) from the following categories:
- Attend Conferences: scholarship may be used to attend OALPRP, KAB, SECO, EECO, state offered or other associated trainings.

C.R. "Dick Meyers Memorial Scholarship
The Ohio Association of Litter Prevention & Recycling Professionals (OALPRP) established an annual scholarship for college students and college-bound high school seniors to further their educational careers. C.R. Dick Meyers was a long-time Ashland County Commissioner who, along with serving on the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Recycling and Litter Prevention advisory board, was a strong supporter of OALPRP and its mission. Mr. Meyers was an advocate of litter prevention and recycling in the state of Ohio and of the professionals given the charge to promote the program in our communities. The scholarship was named in his memory as a token of our appreciation for all his contributions, counsel, and support of the organization and its members. The program began with two $500 scholarships that were awarded annually to those that meet the criteria stated in the application. This scholarship is available to any resident of a “good standing” OALPRP Member community who is presently enrolled at an Ohio college, university or technical college. The awardees must be enrolled in a major relating to one of the areas of which OALPRP focuses: Natural Resource Conservation, Environmental Science or Environmental Education.
