Air Rifle Grants Available for Missouri Schools

Imperial, MO – The Student Air Rifle Program (SAR) is excited to announce a three-way partnership providing equipment grants for Missouri schools.

“We are thrilled to be working with three different partners in Missouri to provide a nearly 50% reduction off the purchase of a full SAR equipment kit”, noted Pam Rowe, Missouri SAR Coordinator.

The Conservation Federation of Missouri, the Missouri Youth Sport Shooting Alliance, and Whitetails Unlimited, are each contributing $500 for new SAR schools who purchase an entire equipment kit. This results in $1,500 off the purchase of a full kit, which runs approximately $3,200.

The grant application can be found at http://www.studentairrifleprogram.org/equipment-overview.

“We have already had several Missouri schools take advantage of this opportunity recently and are excited to work with more within the limits of the grant,” added Pam. For more information on MoSAR, or to fill out a grant application, reach out to Pam at pam@studentairrifleprogram.org.
