Charles & Pat Park Scholarship
The Charles & Pat Park Memorial Scholarship was created to provide financial support to an individual to attend the Fur Takers of America Trappers College. The hope is to raise enough money to make the scholarship an annual scholarship.
Charles was a founding father of the Trappers College and a Director for 25 years. Pat played a significant position in the college as well, as she took the reservations for many years and communicated with the trappers as they prepared to attend.
As family continues to grieve the loss of these two great individuals, we invite you to make donations to the memorial scholarship fund to carry on the impact Charles and Pat made on the Fur Takers Family.
