College Scholarship Program

To date, The Ike Foundation® has awarded nearly $100,000 in college scholarships to qualifying high school students from across the country. These students have been involved or volunteered in fishing, outdoor activities, or conservation. They have gone on to pursue degrees ranging from Biology, Environmental Science, and Computer Engineering to Photography and Business Management.

Each year, The Ike Foundation poses a standard essay question for graduating High School seniors who are seeking financial assistance as they continue their education at a 2- or 4-year College/University. Along with an essay prompt that we provide, applicants have to meet eligibility criteria.

The Ike Foundation Scholarship Program opens every November and has a deadline of the following April. Scholarship recipients are announced in May of their graduating year.

The 2025 Ike Foundation Scholarship Dinner

What an exciting night! This year we switched things up and had Don’t Call Me Francis perform at this year’s Ike Foundation Scholarship Dinner.

The night was filled with familiar faces, amazing food, spectacular auction baskets and even better entertainment! We are incredibly grateful for the support we get from our local community, as well as, the fishing community in our efforts to help graduating High School seniors through our Scholarship Program.
