Thetacticalknives.com $1500 Student Scholarship

Hi, my name is John Brown, a knife enthusiast, geologist, and founder of “The Tactical Knives”.

TheTacticalKnives.com is a blog where I write reviews, buying guidelines, and tips based on different types of tactical knives, fixed blade knives, folding knives, knife brands, kitchen knives and knife accessories. I have been administering this blog since March 2016 and I bear all the costs of this blog through promotional marketing.

At the end of the year 2016, I made the decision that I would spend a particular portion of my income on the welfare of students. Only for this reason, this $1500 Annual Student Scholarship Program has been started on January 1st, 2017.

After executing the first program with remarkable success, now I have started the 11th-term scholarship contest on my blog. This is an ongoing Scholarship Program and I hope that as long as I continue this blog, I will keep on leading this scholarship program.
