2025 Scholarship Recipients

This is the Foundation’s 18th year of providing scholarships to talented high school, college and graduate students. Our recipients, this year, are from eleven states.

The Foundation, as in previous years, received hundreds of applications from across the country. Along with their portfolio of work, recipients were chosen based on several criteria, including financial need, an essay, letters of reference and their school transcript.

The Foundation’s guest judge this year was Steve Bodinet, formerly of KTVK-KPHO, Channel 3, Phoenix.
