Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS is now accepting applications for the Ben Núñez, Sr. Scholarship opportunity. Up to $1,500 in scholarships are being offered to current or past graduates of Tillamook County High Schools and/or current Tillamook County residents interested in pursuing a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, or Math (STEAM) fields with an environmental focus aligned with WEBS mission.
Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS works to build a community of environmental stewards around the Netarts Bay watershed and the areas between Cape Meares and Cape Lookout. We use educational events, programs, and activities, as well as published research, to enhance knowledge of the important and unique qualities of the Netarts Bay Area. WEBS is committed to supporting local students who care about our natural resources and are looking to start their STEAM based career.
Now in its fifth year, the scholarship honors the legacy of longtime board member Ben Núñez Sr., who passed away in 2022. Núñez served as the Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS treasurer for many years and continued to be a strong ambassador for the non-profit upon resigning from the board. His lasting impact lives on through his generosity, and we are delighted to award multiple scholarships in his name.
The application deadline for the 2026 Ben Núñez, Sr. Scholarship is at 11:59 pm on April 26th, 2026.
