BROOKINGS – The South Dakota 4-H Shooting Sports Committee awarded six scholarships to youth in the South Dakota 4-H Shooting Sports program.
Scholarship recipients are selected by a group of volunteers who review the applications, and recipients are selected based on scholastic achievement, character, 4-H Shooting Sports involvement and financial need.
Scholarships are funded through entrance fees paid at the state competition.
The 2022 South Dakota 4-H Shooting Sports scholarship recipients are:
Griffin Gates
Griffin Gates graduated from T.F. Riggs High School in Pierre and will be attending Dakota State University to pursue a degree in cybersecurity. In 2019, Gates served as the team captain for the 4-H Daisy Nationals team and helped his team take first place. Gates got his start in shooting sports by participating in archery, then continued to compete in BB gun, shotgun, muzzleloader and air rifle. Gates represented South Dakota at the 4-H Shooting Sports National Championships in the shotgun discipline in 2021.
