The SASS Scholarship Foundation is a flagship program
for the Single Action Shooting Society. Created
to provide scholarships to deserving SASS members
pursuing higher education, the SASS Scholarship
Foundation has entered its seventh year of offering
cash grants and the fund continues to grow.
For years, SASS tinkered with the idea of creating
a scholarship program for our junior members,
but never got around to it. We have all watched
as some of our young'uns disappeared after
high school to pursue a profession or craft
only to wonder if there was anything you could
do to help them along the trail.
After receiving a letter of encouragement and
a commitment for a donation of the first $1000
from SASS members Deaf Laws and Aimless Annie,
we decided to make this idea a reality and
formed the SASS Scholarship Foundation.
The SASS Scholarship Foundation is a non-profit,
tax exempt corporation dedicated to providing
financial assistance in the form of scholarships
to deserving SASS members in pursuit of higher
education.
One-year scholarships in the amount of $2000 are awarded annually and are
limited to undergraduate studies at an accredited
college or post high school vocational/technical
institution. The Foundation awards as many
scholarships as the fund can provide.
SASS Scholarships are awarded based on character,
personal merit and commitment to the shooting
sports, particularly Cowboy Action Shooting™.
Merit is demonstrated through leadership in
school, on the shooting range, extracurricular
activities, academic achievement, and motivation
to serve and succeed.
Contributions and donations are accepted from
members, affiliated clubs, annual matches,
sponsors and other concerned parties and philanthropic
organizations. Awards are announced annually
during opening ceremonies at END of TRAIL.
In addition to fund raisers, raffles and other
programs, SASS encourages all members and affiliated
clubs to take part in this important effort
by helping to raise funds for the SASS Scholarship
Foundation.
To contribute directly, SASS has set up a site
were donations can be accepted.
