The Gordy Jensen Memorial Scholarship
Honoring a Legacy of Conservation & Shooting Sports
The Redwood Falls Sportsmen’s Club is honored to announce the Gordy Jensen Memorial Scholarship, a lasting tribute to a man who dedicated his life to conservation, shooting sports, and community service. This scholarship, endowed through the Redwood Area Education Foundation, provides financial support to Redwood Valley High School graduates pursuing a post-secondary education with conservation in mind.
A Lasting Endowment for Conservation Education
In January 2020, the Redwood Falls Sportsmen’s Club, along with the families of Tom Morley and Matt Morley, established a $10,000 endowment with the Redwood Area Education Foundation. This endowment, made possible by generous contributions in memory of Gordy Jensen, ensures that at least one $500 scholarship is awarded annually.
By investing in future conservationists, outdoor enthusiasts, and environmental stewards, the scholarship honors Gordy’s passion for preserving natural resources and shooting heritage for generations to come.
