Along with sporting events, educational programs, and outdoor activities, The Randy Jones Foundation also provides youth scholarships for driven student athletes 13-18 years old. These scholarships offer children of service members education, food, housing and financial assistance that helps provide a path for them to participate in athletic programs they would not be able to otherwise afford. Renewable scholarships are awarded on the basis of athletic ability, potential to succeed, and commitment to academic excellence. College readiness is a desired outcome for these prominent military children. The Randy Jones Foundation values the military community and is compelled to bring resources that truly make a difference.
