Women interested in applying for scholarships to defray the cost of attending New Hampshire’s Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) fall weekend workshop must apply before May 8, 2013, to be considered for financial assistance.
To apply for a BOW scholarship, go to http://www.nhbow.com and print out the BOW scholarship application. Mail it in, along with the $35 scholarship application fee (refundable if you do not receive a scholarship), before the May 8 deadline. Scholarship applicants will be notified by May 24, 2013, of the status of their application.
Please note that being awarded a scholarship does not guarantee a place in the fall BOW program. Those who are offered a fall BOW scholarship must also submit the regular fall BOW registration form (available at http://www.nhbow.com on May 30) as soon as possible after the form is posted on May 30. Registration for fall BOW is conducted on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is limited and the program fills up fast. If the program is full when your registration is received, you will not get in.
Among the BOW scholarships being offered this year is a special mother-daughter scholarship. Both mother and daughter must apply; the daughter must be age 18 or older.
New Hampshire’s fall Becoming an Outdoors-Woman weekend will take place September 6-8, 2013, at Rockywold/Deephaven Camps on Squam Lake in Holderness, N.H. Participants select four sessions from more than 30 different outdoor skills workshops, including archery, fishing and fly-fishing, camping, field dressing game, hiking, kayaking, rifle, shotgun, nature photography, outdoor survival, campfire cooking, mountain biking, map and compass, and more.
