The Fred J. Watkins Foundation Scholarship was established in 2021 by the late Fred Watkins who wanted to leave a legacy that would provide young people with the gift of a bright future. The scholarship provides encouragement and support to students in a mentoring program with Big Brothers Big Sisters primarily by eliminating any financial barriers they may have in their pursuit of post-secondary education.
Please be aware that scholarships are contingent upon the availability of funds and will be awarded annually. The scholarship may change or be discontinued at any time, as the donor advisors have the discretion to change or withdraw funding at their discretion. Assistance for students is only guaranteed on a yearly basis as students are required to reapply each year and must maintain academic standards.
Application Requirements Please submit the following items no later than May 14, 2025. Three criteria to re-apply: You must submit your winter semester marks from 2025 by May 14th and complete the end of year check-in. You must be returning to school in the fall.
