Fairfax, Virginia – If you’re a young lady enrolled in a college wildlife management or conservation program, you can receive financial aid from the National Rifle Association.
Established in 2005 by the NRA’s Women’s Policies Committee and administered through The NRA Foundation, the Women’s Wildlife Management/Conservation Scholarship is dedicated to assisting women looking for careers in conservation.
