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 (no less than $1000 and up to $3,000) and are dedicated to assisting in the recipient’s first year of college education.

The committee may choose to award more than one scholarship and/or may adjust the amount. The awarding of more than one scholarship does not necessarily affect the award amounts.

Scholarships are usually announced in April and awarded on the first Thursday in May at the Philadelphia Girls’ Rowing Club, unless otherwise noted.
