Merit or not this is something that the PGCA Board may want to take up for discussion and action if it feels there's sufficient merit and support within the organization. If the Board decides to establish a PGCA scholarship fund for our youth who wish to learn the art and pursue a career in gunmaking/gunsmithing I will gladly contribute to such fund. The Board could ask a number of interested senior PGCA Members to form a scholarship committee to develop and propose a set of guidelines and objectives for developing a fund and implementing same. If this were to come about, I would commit to contribute $500 to the pot (and forgo a few sins for the next few years!). My 2 cents.
