For the third year in a row, the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame (BFHOF) has given out scholarships through its Fishery Management Scholarship Program. Eight students were selected from the applicants to each receive $2,500 towards pursuing their studies. The Fishery Management Scholarship Program’s goal is to provide financial support and encourage high school and college bass anglers who want to pursue careers that will directly contribute to healthy fisheries, essential access, and clean rivers, lakes, and reservoirs
The 2025 Fishery Management Scholarship Program recipients include:
The scholarship awardees consist of high school seniors who have committed to enrolling in a four-year program, as well as undergrad and post-grad students currently enrolled in a four-year accredited graduate program with a declared or planned major in biology, aquatic ecology, fisheries, marine science, or a closely related natural resources field.
“The response to this program continues to be exceptional,” said incoming BFHOF Board President Bruce Stanton. “We have a dedicated Conservation/Education Committee, led by Board Member and BFHOF inductee Gene Gilliland, and they gave great care in choosing the recipients. Based on the results achieved by previous years’ grantees, and their long-term career goals, we know that our supporters made a difference that aligns perfectly with the Hall’s mission of celebrating, promoting, and preserving bass fishing. Healthy fisheries are a prerequisite for a healthy sport.”
The financial support for this program has been made possible by the support the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame receives from past inductees, professional anglers competing on the B.A.S.S. and MLF tournament trails, bass angler support for the Hall’s annual online auctions, and many leading companies involved in the bass fishing industry. The Class of 2025 will be honored at the annual induction ceremony next month on September 25th at the Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife Museum and Aquarium, adjacent to the Bass Pro Shops flagship store in Springfield, MO. Additionally, the BFHOF will announce details and application requirements for the 2026 Fishery Management Scholarship program later this year for any students who would like to apply for next year.
