About the Scholarship
This fund, established in 2021 by his family and loved ones, honors Tanner’s achievements in baseball and his time served coaching youth. This scholarship continues Tanner’s legacy by providing kids the financial assistance to pursue a college degree in a field of their choice.
In partnership with the EMpact One Foundation, a scholarship to honor his memory benefits one Bauxite High School baseball player annually. This athlete and scholarship recipient must represent the values of kindness, dedication, and achievement on and off the field.
Each spring, the Bauxite High School coach will nominate 3-5 athletes to apply for the scholarship based upon team leadership, academic commitment, and extracurricular or community engagement.
