Attn High School Seniors: Participation in Competitive Archery is a qualifier for this scholarship.

HEADS UP! We're now accepting applications for the 2026-2027 CMP Scholarship Program! 🎓

CMP Scholarships are presented each year to graduating seniors involved in marksmanship activities (r***e, pistol, sh***un, etc.) and may be used toward tuition/educational expenses at accredited colleges, universities, technical or trade schools and vocational programs.

Last year, we awarded over $1 MILLION to qualified individuals!

This year, we're proud to again offer:

⭐ ONE $40,000 Renewable Scholarship: $10,000 annual scholarship, renewable for four years ($40,000 overall)

⭐ FOUR $20,000 Renewable Scholarships: $5,000 annually, renewable for four years ($20,000 overall)

⭐ $3,000 and $10,000 One-Year Scholarships: One-time scholarship awards to qualified applicants.

⭐ UP TO 30 LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS: One-time $1,000 scholarships to those in the Anniston/Talladega, Alabama, and Ottawa County, Ohio, areas – no marksmanship experience required!

Eligible students are encouraged to apply and take the next step toward achieving their educational goals!

Thanks to some great volunteers we've gotten a bunch of new target stands built (more than visible in this picture, but to give you an idea)
