This initiative seeks to recognize and reward outstanding young individuals who demonstrate a keen interest in outdoor activities and hunting through their personal stories and experiences.
The scholarship program will award two deserving candidates with a scholarship of $1,500 each. These scholarships are intended to support the educational endeavors of young participants aged between 16 and 20 years, who exhibit a deep passion for outdoor activities and hunting.
