Award

This scholarship will award a one time $500 scholarship to one applicant. The scholarship amount will likely increase in future years, so interested parties are encouraged to check back each year.

Applicants must be registered for a college, university, or technical school for the Fall term immediately following being awarded the scholarship. Applicants must be a minimum of 16 years of age, have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher, and share a love for the great outdoors! Previous winners may reapply but cannot be selected as a winner more than twice.

Idaho applicants will receive a 1 point bonus to encourage more local participation. It is recommended that applicants write their responses on a separate Word document and then copy-paste them into the entry fields.

Committee

A preliminary selection committee will include 1-2 Elk Mountain Tents employees, and a final selection committee will include the owner of Elk Mountain Tents and at least one other non-employee.
