Boswell Family Charity Scholarship

The Boswell Family Charity Scholarship, sponsored by The Boswell Family Charitable Foundation, was founded to assist high school seniors in pursuing their educational and career goals in the name of Christ. While students will not need to be Christian or affiliated with a church, the scholarship’s goal is to help those in need realize their dreams through the love and support of others.
