🧑🎓 INTRODUCING THE KCSA HERITAGE SCHOLARSHIP
Kentucky’s outdoors don’t protect themselves. They’re protected by the next generation of wildlife biologists, conservation officers, foresters, fisheries managers, and outdoor educators we raise up.
That’s why KCSA is proud to announce our inaugural Heritage Scholarship — a $500 award for a 2026 Kentucky high school senior pursuing an outdoor-related degree at a Kentucky college, university, or trade school.
We’re investing in the next generation of Kentucky’s conservation leaders — and we want them trained right here in the Commonwealth.

✅Graduating Kentucky high school senior (Class of 2026)
✅Accepted to a Kentucky college, university, or trade school
✅Pursuing a degree in an outdoor-related field — wildlife biology, fisheries, forestry, natural resources, conservation law enforcement, agriculture, outdoor recreation, environmental science, and related programs
✅Demonstrated involvement in hunting, fishing, conservation, or the outdoors
✅Minimum 2.5 GPA
