2024 Scholarship Winners

Inaugural Year

To celebrate our first year, the Blackcats Alumni Scholarship Fund has decided to increase the number of scholarships from three to five. The Coach Haywood Inspiration Scholarship is a new addition in recognition of Coach Haywood, who delivered a memorable speech at the 1978 Blackcats Reunion, inspiring the creation of the fund. Additionally, the Class of 1978 Memorial Scholarship was established to honor our departed classmates. To witness the awarding of the initial scholarships, please click here. (28:05) We are proud to dedicate three scholarships every year in the future. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. To learn more about how to donate, please contact us.
