Bill Braxton Memorial Regatta Scholarships
background
Proceeds from the Bill Braxton Memorial Regatta fund scholarships given in memory of Bill Braxton and his departed parents, Bill and Theresa.
The scholarships are awarded to high school student rowers from Philadelphia and the surrounding area.
Winners are selected in part by their embodiment of the same courage, conviction, and devotion to community that Bill held.
Scholarships
The scholarships are awarded in a lump sum and are dedicated to assisting in the recipient’s first year of college education. The scholarship amount may vary from year to year to a maximum of $3000.
The committee may choose to award more than one scholarship or may also choose not to award a scholarship in any given year.
Scholarships are usually announced in April and awarded on the first Thursday in May at the Philadelphia Girls’ Rowing Club, unless otherwise noted.
