SCHOLARSHIP: JaxSports

The 2017-2018 school year has officially kicked off, and the seniors have finally made it to their last year of high school.

The JAXSPORTS Charities Award of Excellence scholarship presented by Wells Fargo is officially open. This $2,500 one-time scholarship is given out to four local student-athletes!

To be eligible to receive the JAXSPORTS Charities Award of Excellence Scholarship, the applicant must:

• Maintain a 3.0+ GPA (on an unweighted 4.0 scale) from an accredited high school in Florida’s First Coast area/southern Georgia
• Participate in a varsity/junior varsity sport or its equivalent (dance, gymnastics, taekwondo etc.)
• Participate in extra-curricular activities through church, school and the community
• Exhibit exemplary behavior, thereby being a good role model for peers
• Attach (1) letter of reference from a school official (Principal, Guidance Counselor, Teacher, Athletic Director, Coach, etc.)


One of the unique aspects of our scholarship is that it is awarded on field at the TaxSlayer Bowl in front of thousands of fans! We would like to ask your help in distributing the attached application and flyer to your seniors. This year we have also added an online version of the application that can be filled out completely online without having to use the paper copy. Students can find it at http://jaxsports.com/scholarship/

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any specific questions.
