Lew’s/Strike King Offers Freshman Scholarships

Supporting youth and the future of our sport has been at the core of our brands since their inception. This effort has been supported in many fashions throughout our history. The most notable is the highly-successful Mach High School Program, which has enabled Lew’s to support many high school bass clubs across the country.

In addition, Strike King is and has always been, a proud sponsor of numerous high school and college fishing teams and events.  To ensure the future success of this mission, the Lew’s/Strike King brands have even developed a fully functional Grass Roots Activation Team that heads up our nationwide efforts to support and equip youth anglers.

 

These efforts have helped us lay the groundwork for our most exciting development to date.  To further support our youth anglers and thank them for carrying the love and passion for fishing forward, we are excited to announce the Lew’s & Strike King Freshman Scholarship Program!

Our new Freshman Scholarship Program is yet another way for our brands to give back to the sport we love. We recognize the important role that fishing has played in our lives and we feel an obligation to ensure that it gets passed on to our youth. We’ve set up a fund that will award five deserving high school anglers a scholarship towards their freshman year of college. We are very excited to see the support and success of our brands translate into tangible support and success of youth fishing.

The Freshman Scholarship Program will be awarded to five deserving high school anglers who must complete an application that will be available on both the Lew’s and Strike King websites. We are proudly partnering with the Future Fisherman Foundation in the screening and processing of all applications. More information and the actual application can be found on our websites www.lews.com and www.strikeking.com .
