For many students, the biggest obstacle to a higher education is money that’s why the Jimmy Rane Foundation is offering a full-time scholarship. The scholarship is open to a high school senior, college freshman or sophomore, progressing normally toward graduation in the Spring/Summer 2017. The Jimmy Rane Foundation is dedicated to providing college scholarships to deserving students and strengthening their communities through education projects and grants. Winners of scholarships will receive award amount ranges from $500 to $5,000 per year.
The Jimmy Rane Foundation was created with a simple, yet powerful idea: “It’s about giving something back.” That was the guiding principle for James W. “Jimmy” Rane when he established the Foundation in 2000. And that’s exactly what he and countless sponsors have been able to do since then.
