Like to fish? Thinking about studying fish in college? Then BASS has news for you. The BASS Conservation Scholarship program, supported by Costa Del Mar sunglasses, is now accepting applications for those wishing to earn a degree in the natural-resources field.
Applicants must be a BASS member and a BASS Federation Nation member, or immediate family to a member. Six undergraduate scholarships awarding $2,000 annually, and one graduate scholarship awarding $5,000 annually, are available and can be used for tuition, textbooks or living expenses. The deadline to submit is Dec. 1.
Chris Horton, associate director of BASS Conservation, said: "We wanted to provide the BASS Federation Nations with a unique program only available to those members. These scholarships will help ensure that tomorrow's fisheries managers are actually anglers themselves or are from an angling family."
More information on the program is available in the conservation section of the BASS site.
