Charlie Parr Memorial Scholarship Application

Charlie Parr Memorial Scholarship App
In 2021, we lost a dear friend and Lillard Fly Fishing Expeditions co-founder, Charlie Parr. Since LFFE's first summer, Charlie had dreamed of starting a nonprofit to raise money for scholarships and conservation projects.

The LFFCF team believes that the summer camp experience is life-changing. We've witnessed it over a decade of running trips for teens and we -every one of us- had our lives changed by summer camp growing up.

We think that experience should be available to every teenager.

The Charlie Parr Memorial Scholarship is a need-based scholarship to help make LFFE programs accessible to participants from all financial backgrounds. Awards are determined on a sliding scale based on household income relative to federal poverty guidelines, and range from partial to full program cost coverage.

Before you begin, please have the following ready:
- Your most recent federal tax return (Form 1040, pages 1–2)
- Total household size, including all persons supported by household income
A few things to know:
- This application should take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete.
- All financial information is kept strictly confidential and is reviewed only by LFFCF's scholarship committee.
- Submitting an application does not guarantee an award. Applicants will be notified of decisions by 4/1.
- If you are unable to provide tax documentation, please complete the form and explain your circumstances in the space provided — we will follow up with you directly.

How did you hear about the Charlie Parr Memorial Scholarship?
Tell us about yourself.
Being part of a successful fly fishing adventure is a lot like being part of a successful team: Every member needs to contribute positively to a common goal and simultaneously learn from the strengths of their teammates. What is something you hope to improve upon during your trip and how do you think you could contribute to the success of the trip?
While fly fishing experience is not required for participation in LFFE programs, we do want to ensure that all scholarship recipients have a strong desire to be on a fly fishing intensive trip. Briefly, what is your experience with fly fishing (or fishing of any kind)? If you've not done any fishing before, what draws you to a fly fishing program?
