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 four 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.
