For teenage environmentalists, Canon U.S.A. also supports the "Canon Envirothon," the largest high school environmental competition in North American. A fun and exciting way to encourage the study of the environment, the "Envirothon" helps students develop an early sense of environmental responsibility and introduces them to the real life challenges of maintaining a healthy environment. Through in-class study and hands-on field experiences, students learn about the role that an individual can play in important environmental issues. As the title sponsor since 1997, Canon awards scholarships to national competition winners.
