Our Mission
The Hicks Family has established the Tyler Hicks Memorial Scholarship Fund to honor Tyler’s life and to reward a standout student athlete or member of the athletic support staff who exemplifies many of the same traits that made Tyler so successful. The goal of this scholarship fund is to provide a $2,500 scholarship for four consecutive years to a deserving student athlete or member of the athletic support staff. Four years from now that will be four total persons benefiting from this scholarship, all at different stages of their college career for a yearly total of $10,000
