2019 Scholarship Recipients Announced!

Congratulations to the 25 recipients of the Jim Sable Environment & Conservation Education Scholarship!

Jim recognized that education came before anything else.  He would always ask his students if they had gotten their homework done, asked about the grades, and encourage them to succeed academically.  As a student mentor, Jim felt that it was his duty to ensure that nothing interfered with students’ academic progress.

With over 50 years of experience as a firearms safety instructor, Jim has also long recognized the importance of hunting, outdoor shooting sports, and other outdoor activities. He has always championed the symbiotic relationship between conservation funding and outdoor shooting sports activities, and that hunters and outdoor shooting sport enthusiasts are the best stewards of our environment.  It is with that relationship in mind that the League’s scholarship program was established.

Twenty-five (25) $1,000 scholarships were awarded to high school seniors who participate in the League and plan to further their education with an eye towards an environment, natural resources, and/or conservation-related career.
