Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation Announces SCTP-SPP Scholarship Recipients

Forty-two participants in the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and Scholastic Pistol Program (SPP) have been named recipients of $1000 college scholarships being awarded by the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF), the leader in youth development shooting sports programs.

Student athletes who graduated from high school in 2014 and will enroll in college this year were eligible to apply for the scholarships. Awards are based on SCTP / SPP participation, academics, need, and other factors. The scholarships are being funded by generous sponsors who support the youth shooting programs, as well as supporters who raise funds through national banquets.

For the SCTP scholarships, Beretta USA donated $10,000 to provide 10 scholarships, and the National Skeet Shooting Association and National Sporting Clays Association (NSSA-NSCA) contributed another $10,000 for 10 awards. SCTP National Fundraising Banquets provided $15,000 for 15 of the scholarships. NRA funded a $1000 special scholarship and will present two more $1000 scholarships to winners of the “Last Competitor Standing” competitions at the upcoming National Team Championships.

Of the six scholarships being awarded to SPP athletes, five are being funded by a donation from Smith & Wesson, while another is being funded by a $1000 donation from HiViz Shooting Systems.
