NWTF Scholarship Program
At the National Wild Turkey Federation, there are more benefits going out to youth than just the
pride of conserving the American wild turkey. Scholarship money is also available.
Students can now compete at the local level for college scholarships sponsored by the NWTF.
But it doesn't stop there.
All students receiving local scholarships for $250 will have the opportunity to compete for a
state/provincial chapter funded $1,000 state/provincial scholarship. State/provincial chapter winners
will compete for a $10,000 national scholarship. Eligibility information for recipients and deadlines
for each phase of the process are included with the scholarship application packets.
Information packets will be sent to interested chapters each year.
These scholarships are set up to ensure the NWTF has the dedicated conservationists needed for
the future and is a part of the NWTF's Five-Star program. Applicants for the scholarship must
be members of the NWTF and are judged on their scholastic achievements, leadership
abilities, community involvement and commitment to conservation.
The deadline for application is December 31st 2011. For more information on the scholarship
program, contact Scott Nelson at the CVSG by calling (605)528-7320 or e-mail him at
