Coe Wilderness Field Station Scholarship 
The Coe Wilderness Field Station Scholarship provides full tuition, travel expenses, and a $2500 stipend to two Carleton students each year to take a course at the field station.

This opportunity is supported by the William Muir Fund and a gift from a generous Carleton alum who attended the Wilderness Field Station more than 50 years ago. Her experience at the field station changed her trajectory at Carleton and led her to a career in Environmental Policy. With this gift, her hope is that Carleton students will take the opportunity to try something different, perhaps out of their comfort zone, and potentially change their self-perception and direction.  

This scholarship is open to any Carleton student with an interest in taking a course at the Coe Wilderness Field Station during the summer of 2024. Applicants do not need previous wilderness experience to be eligible. First year students are particularly encouraged to apply. Many students that attend the field station have no previous experience with wilderness education or wilderness travel. 

Applications are due March 15th, 2024.

The Wilderness Field Station is a unique summer program of field study in the Superior National Forest in Northern Minnesota. All classes are very small and personal, with no more than eight students per instructor. Students stay in rustic lodging while at the Field Station, integrating lectures and laboratory investigation with frequent canoe outings. Once prepared, each class takes a lengthy canoe camping trip into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and/or Quetico Provincial Park to learn more about their academic topic .

Explain your interest and motivations for participating in this type of educational experience. Please limit your answer to 1-2 paragraphs.
