Jim McDonnell Scholarship

High school seniors in good standing at school and in the community who have been accepted to a two- or four-year accredited college and plan a career in conservation, wildlife, or teaching may apply.

Awards vary with a minimum of $500 each and are paid after completion of the first semester through the student's college or university. Selection weighs financial need and overall student qualities, not academics alone.

Submit the application for committee review. Jim McDonnell was a longtime Clay Central teacher, girls coach, and outdoor writer known as The Fishing Professor.
