Terry C. Tessein Memorial Scholarship
Throughout his life, Terry was extremely passionate about the outdoors and conservation. He loved all aspects of the outdoors and also loved sharing and teaching other about it. He was delighted to see people with their own passion for the outdoors and wanted to cultivate that passion in others. He wanted people to not only love and appreciate the outdoors, but also to be good stewards of it.
The purpose of this scholarship is help the future stewards of the outdoors. Terry would have loved to see new generations of those who care about the outdoors the way he did be able to follow their passions.
