Scholarships “ The Teen Angler Way”
Education means many things to many people, The ability to solve a math problem. A science problem. Perhaps even a fish problem? The recent interest in young people and their growth has encouraged us, Groups looking to help teen fishing have certainly increased in recent years, That’s a good thing! We’re proud that we were out there leading the way. Setting the standard. But fishing is more than winning tournaments; It’s more than a limit at the scales, It’s about an attitude, a mindset, and a place in this world where we connect and communicate. Teen Anglers has and will always be about education that’s why some teens can’t be a Teen Angler. It’s certainly not because we don’t want them, but more because they choose not to Challenge themselves to be all that they can be. The “ Teen Angler Way” is a way of living, not a fishing club. We are proud to be the organization that offers scholarship opportunities in the Outdoors community, not based on your performance at the weigh-in scales but in life also.
