Target: Scholarships

This fall the Target: Scholarships committee is planning an event at the Eagle's Nest Sporting Grounds in Mt. Gilead, Ohio to raise funds for the Ohio AgriBusiness Association Education Trust scholarship program. In addition to a day of sporting clays, OABA members have the opportunity to network with their colleagues, while they continue to support aspiring agribusiness professionals. 

The 2026 Target: Scholarships event will be held September 11 at the Eagle's Nest Sporting Grounds in Mt. Gilead, Ohio (NEW LOCATION).

The Educational Trust annually provides more than $55,000 in scholarship dollars to students enrolled in an agriculture-related field attending The Ohio State University and OSU Agricultural Technical Institute, Clark State Community College, Central State University and Wilmington College.

Registration is available for teams of 4 or individuals. Participants will shoot 100 target rounds.  Ammunition (12 gauge and 20 gauge) will be provided for each individual, as well as a golf cart for each team. Please indicate on your registration what gauge ammunition you will be using. Participants are responsible for supplying their own gun, a limited supply may be available to rent through the sporting center. 

Doors will open at 9:00 a.m. for registration and announcements. Shooting will begin promptly at 9:30 a.m. in groups of 4. Lunch will follow the shooting.
