Jackson Hole One Fly Foundation Scholarship: 4-yr, CTE/2-yr CC

Sponsored by the Jackson Hole One Fly Foundation, this annual scholarship is given to a student who has established a pattern of personal success and interest in environmental conservation for either a four-year college degree or vocational/technical school program. Our mission is to promote the positive development and enrichment of our Teton Valley Wyoming and Idaho youth toward a career in environmental conservation.

ABOUT THE FOUNDATION:
The Jackson Hole One Fly Foundation hosts the legendary One Fly Tournament, now in its 41st year, which is North America’s longest-running fly-fishing competition. Since 1993, the Jackson Hole One Fly Foundation has raised and funded over $3.4 million while joining matching funds from other like-minded conservation groups of $24.5 million, yielding total conservation funding of over $27.9 million for native cutthroat trout habitat and conservation research projects. Local legendary outfitters, Jack Dennis and Paul Bruun, organized the inaugural tournament in 1986 initially to foster friendships, sportsmanship, and enjoyment of fly fishing while raising funds for conservation along the upper Snake River watershed. Today, the Foundation’s funding activities include projects and education which environmentally benefit the future of native cutthroat trout, recreational fly fishing and conservation of the upper Snake River watershed.
