What Is The Kyle Franks Foundation College Scholarship?

The Kyle Franks Foundation Scholarship Program has been established to annually award deserving local area students with scholarship assistance.
Proceeds from the Kyle Franks Charity Golf Classic will support our community campaign for substance abuse awareness, as well as support the Kyle Franks Foundation "tough street" Scholarship Fund, which is administered by the Board of Directors.
Our projected funding is $500 per student, per semester, as long as the student is in good standing with the Board and in compliance with the criteria set.
On occasion, the qualifying student will be expected to provide community services in behalf of the Foundation and in support of fundraising efforts.
