Tiger Fan Club
2015 Scholarship Application
The Tiger Fan Club is pleased to
announce that it is offering two $1,000.00 scholarships to senior student
athletes from Farmington High School. These
scholarships are designed to celebrate the participation of students in
athletics rather than their athletic prowess or accomplishments, and reflect an
appreciation for those who have demonstrated hard work, commitment, and who
recognize the importance of community and team.
One scholarship will be awarded to a male student athlete and one scholarship
will be awarded to a female student athlete.
