K9 Memorial Scholarship

…is the revised and re-established scholarship, formerly known as “The Lil’Joe Scholarship,” that is given in honor and remembrance of member(s) from the K9 Organization that have lost life while being an active member within the organization.

It is the goal of the K9 Organization to keep the memory of these “fallen” members alive by helping and encouraging students to reach their full potential by going beyond high school and maximizing the opportunities others would realize as a result of completing a higher-educational degree. The economy of our great nation is forever changing and the number of scholarships is decreasing as the costs of books and tuition are increasing.

The members of K9 have committed to awarding at the minimum of $5000 in scholarship funds each year beginning with the high school year ending in 2011. The award(s) will be presented during the anniversary of the “mother chapter,” which is September 26th. Different fund-raisers and general funds donated directly from the members will be used to fulfill this obligation. Contributions from other businesses, philanthropists, and potential corporate partners will permit the organization to award even more in scholarships.

Please see other information regarding how you can make a tax-deductible contribution and/or the criteria in applying for the scholarship(s).
