CONCORD, N.H. – Women interested in applying for scholarships to defray the
cost of attending New Hampshire’s Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) fall
weekend workshop must apply before May 15, 2012, to be considered for
financial assistance.
To apply for a BOW scholarship, go to http://www.nhbow.com and print out and
complete the BOW scholarship application. Mail it in, along with the $30
scholarship application fee, before the May 15 deadline. Scholarship
applications will not be accepted after that date. Scholarship applicants
will be notified by May 25, 2012, of the status of their application.
If you are awarded a scholarship, this does not guarantee you a place in the
fall BOW program. Those who are offered a fall BOW scholarship must also
download, complete and mail in the regular fall BOW registration form at
http://www.nhbow.com as soon as possible after the form becomes available on
May 31. Registration for fall BOW is conducted on a first-come, first-served
basis. Space is limited and the program fills up fast. If the program is
full when your registration is received, you will not get in.
Among the BOW scholarships being offered this year is a special
mother-daughter scholarship. Both mother and daughter must apply; the
daughter must be age 18 or older.
New Hampshire’s fall Becoming an Outdoors-Woman weekend will take place
September 7-9, 2012, at Rockywold/Deephaven Camps on Squam Lake in
Holderness, N.H. Participants select four sessions from more than 30
different outdoor skills workshops, including archery, fishing and
fly-fishing, camping, field dressing game, hiking, kayaking, rifle, shotgun,
nature photography, outdoor survival, campfire cooking, mountain biking, map
and compass, and more.
A brochure describing the fall BOW weekend can be viewed at

available on May 31, 2012. Registration forms will be accepted by regular
mail only (no walk-ins please - new policy) beginning June 4, 2012. Please
