CONCORD, N.H. -- Several scholarships are available to defray the cost of attending New Hampshire's Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) fall weekend workshop. To be considered for financial assistance, interested women must mail a completed scholarship application postmarked by May 1, 2017, along with a written statement and $35 application deposit. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

To apply for a BOW scholarship, go to www.nhbow.com; a link to the scholarship application can be found under "Upcoming Events/Fall BOW."

Please apply as soon as possible to ensure that your application is received in time. Applications postmarked after May 1 will not be accepted.

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.

If you do not receive a scholarship, the $35 scholarship application fee will be returned OR may be applied to the regular registration fee if you choose to participate in the fall weekend without a scholarship.

Those who are offered a fall BOW scholarship must also submit the regular program registration form, which will be available on June 5 at www.nhbow.com. Registration for BOW is first-come, first-served. If the program is full when your registration is received, you will not get in, even if you have a scholarship.

New Hampshire's fall Becoming an Outdoors-Woman weekend will take place September 8-10, 2017, at Rockywold/Deephaven Camps on Squam Lake in Holderness, N.H.
