2013 Rhode Island Saltwater Anglers Foundation Scholarships
Recreational Fishing Advancement Grant
  • The Foundation is interested in promoting and investing in a project that will have benefit to the recreational fishing community by providing support to a researcher affiliated with either Roger Williams University or the University of Rhode Island.
  • The Foundation is willing to fund a project exclusively with our funding, however we encourage applicants to leverage this private funding with Federal or State funding to allow these funds to be used as a key part of a larger project.
  • The Foundation may award one or multiple projects. The maximum amount available for an individual project is $15,000. These funds may be used for on-the-ground habitat conservation and improvement projects, research, culture specific to species of recreational interest, or for projects that will in some other way benefit recreational fishermen in Southern New England
