Heritage Fund Scholarship Winners Twenty-five students from 15 states have been awarded $1,000 scholarships through the Hunting and Shooting Sports Heritage Fund. The scholarship program assists employees of fund-member companies or family members of those employees. "It is a wonderful thing to be able to assist the young men and women who are the future of the shooting sports," said Bettyjane Swann, scholarship director. "The scholarship program is a great opportunity to show appreciation to the companies and their employees who are directly contributing to the future of the shooting sports and the industry that supports them." Applicants were asked to write a 350-word essay. Entries were judged on how well the essay explained the importance and tradition of hunting and the shooting sports.
