The Hogue Foundation Student-Athlete Scholarship is awarded annually to one young woman and one young man who exemplify resilience, discipline, and a commitment to growth—both in the classroom and through athletics.

We believe in the power of athletics to shape character, build leadership, and create opportunity. At the same time, we recognize the unique challenges student-athletes face in balancing academic responsibilities, personal development, and competitive demands. This scholarship is designed to support that journey and ease the transition into college life.

Awarded to students from underserved communities, this scholarship honors individuals who demonstrate perseverance, strong values, and a drive to succeed beyond the game. It is not only an investment in their education, but in their future impact as leaders within their communities.

At The Hogue Foundation, we are committed to developing well-rounded individuals—because the lessons learned through sport and discipline extend far beyond the field.
