Who Can Apply:
- Everett Frank, an amazing son, brother, and friend, lived his sixteen years with exceptional kindness, resilience, and wholeheartedness. He demonstrated what it means to be a good friend, tackle challenges head-on, and truly live. Though his life was cut short by osteosarcoma (cancer) before he could graduate high school, the way he chose to live remains a profound inspiration and the motivation behind this memorial scholarship.
- Everett was a vibrant, athletic, and joyful person who cared deeply for others and loved sports and music. He faced his cancer journey with unwavering optimism and a drive to make the most of every single day. He never gave up, choosing to get up, show up and do hard things, engaging with every experience with all he had.
- This award is designed to provide a gift to students who demonstrate the exceptional qualities that defined Everett, helping them pursue a future education that he could not. The scholarship, therefore, hopes to encourage the winners to pursue their educational and personal goals with the same passion, integrity, and positive resolve that characterized Everett’s journey.
- This opportunity is open to any high school senior in Thornton, Colorado, with a preference for applicants from Horizon High School.
