The Scholarship Committee
of the World Championship Musky Classic has the responsibility
of selecting the recipient of the $4000.00 Ben Bendrick Memorial
Scholarship. This scholarship is given each year to a North
Lakeland area student who will be attending an institution of
higher learning.
The "Bendrick" Scholarship
is funded partially from entry fees, contributions, and magazine
revenues. Over the years many organizations have donated
thousands of dollars to help our students attend the schools of
their choice.
Recipients of the
scholarship are selected by the Scholarship Committee and are
based on several criteria. Key qualifications required of
recipients include a determination and ability to succeed in
their field, a financial need for assistance, a background of
classes and activities that have prepared the student for the
effort, and a sense of direction and purpose. Students are also
required to maintain a specific grade point average and to
report their grade point averages and schedules to the
Scholarship Committee.
This year the Scholarship
Committee awarded two scholarships to very worthy students. Due
to the generosity of the Classic fishermen monies were available
to extend the number of recipients yet again. We hope to
continue this in the future as the number of registered
fishermen grows.
