CCA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
CCA MS Bay Chapter wanted to get the youth in the community involved in the conservation field. A scholarship program was started. This scholarship program is solely off of donations of our sponsors, members, and community. The ability to assist one our youth to further their future in conservation was a goal the CCA Bay Chapter and community sought out to make happen. In 2012, the first scholarship was given out to Blake Stefano. Over the years, there’s been scholarships given out each year to graduates that are involved in Conservation for our present and future. We look forward to our recipients to continue with what CCA stands for. Our youth is our future.
For more information how you can donate or apply for our scholarship programs you may contact chairman@cca.ms.
