This past year Safari Club International Foundation awarded a total of $33,270 in college scholarships benefiting 20 students majoring in wildlife management, natural resource management or a related field of study. That total commitment is being increased to $35,270 in the 2012-13 academic years. Since 2000, SCI has awarded $300,000 to 61 scholars attending colleges in the U.S. and internationally.
“These scholarships are imperative for the education of future hunter-conservationists,” said SCI Foundation President Joseph Hosmer. “We need more individuals committed to science based conservation and active wildlife management. Only then can we ensure that future generations are afforded the same opportunities to get out and experience the outdoors as we have.”
