The Scholarship
The Robert Simmons Memorial Scholarship
Providing deserving students with what they need now.
We have selected our 2010 recipients! Congratulations!
Our foundation gives multiple scholarships each year to at-risk youth entering the seventh grade. Many charitable organizations provide assistance to young people who are college-bound. It is our belief that providing much-needed support to children now, will secure their future success. Each scholarship will assist students and their families in paying for the students' educational costs throughout their seventh-grade year. These costs include any academically related expenses such as school supplies, clothing, shoes, and athletic fees.
