Victor Nathan Siwa Memorial Scholarship Fund

Victor Nathan Siwa

The Victor Nathan Siwa Memorial Scholarship helps young men and women get into the wilderness and give something back to our nation’s public lands in memory of Victor Nathan Siwa.

From a young age, Victor Nathan ‘Nate’ Siwa was a lover of the outdoors and was always willing to help others. His late father, Vic Siwa, spent a lot of time with his children on outdoor excursions including camping, fishing, & hunting. With this upbringing, Nate came to love and appreciate the outdoors. He taught others and found joy in showing them how to fish, hunt and connect with the environment through outdoor excursions with him.

Nate had always planned to join a project that helped the environment, a project that fueled his passion to include others and help others to learn about the environment. The Wilderness Volunteers Victor Nathan Siwa Memorial Scholarship Fund is Nate’s family’s way of honoring his love for the environment and helping others.
