2020 DIFF Club Scholarship Applications— Deadline March 15, 2020!

The Davis Island Fishing Foundation (DIFF) offers five scholarship opportunities established to honor some of its founding members. They are awarded annually and a call for applications is issued for the 2020 awards. The DIFF Board of Directors allocates $2,500 annually from the fishing tournament proceeds to fund five $500 scholarships. In some years the proceeds from the fishing tournament allow us to make multiple awards in each category. The deadline for submitting applications is March 15, 2020.
