Jimmy Rane Foundation Scholarship

The Jimmy Rane Foundation is celebrating 10 years of awarding college scholarships to deserving high school and college students. I would like to encourage you to make your graduating high school seniors aware of the Jimmy Rane Foundation Scholarship. The application will go online beginning December 1. The students must go to our website, http://www.jimmyranefoundation.org/ to apply online. The deadline is February. The application is rather easy – just time consuming. There are 3 essays, 2 short and 1 long and they must have recommenders. I would suggest that the students not wait until the last minute to apply because they more than likely would not finish.

I’m attaching a flyer that can be posted or handed out to your students. Remember, this is an annual scholarship so keep this information on file. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Wendy Gay
Scholarship Coordinator
