Harmon & Sue Burns Scholarship Fund

Congratulations to the 2009 graduating class of scholars!

Celebrating its eighth year, the Giants Community Fund is proud to continue its scholarship program for 13-year-old Junior Giants students. Emphasizing the importance of self-esteem, teamwork and leadership, this scholarship commends a commitment to academics and community service through assisting students to achieve goals of higher education and promoting active community involvement. The goal of this program is to provide students with the incentive and motivation to actualize their full potential.

In 2009, the Junior Giants Scholars program was renamed the Harmon and Sue Burns Scholarship Fund in honor of the late Giants owners Harmon and Sue Burns. Both Harmon and Sue were generous supporters of the Giants Community Fund. Sue served on the Giants Community Fund Board of Directors and was a valuable member of the Education committee. The Fund is thankful to have had the Burns' support of our community programs and hope that this scholarship will honor their generous spirit for years to come.

Ten Scholars will be selected the summer before they enter eighth grade and will receive a $2,500 scholarship upon successful completion of high school and acceptance to college or a training program.

Applicants must apply the summer prior to entering eighth grade and meet the following criteria:

• Currently participate in the Junior Giants baseball program
• Demonstrate the value of education, a strong work ethic, and community outreach

Applications can be obtained from your local Junior Giants commissioner or coach.
