The IHSAA, the IHSAA Foundation and Forté Sports Medicine and Orthopedics are proud to announce the selection of 20 senior student-athletes for 10 scholarships to be presented this Spring.
Alongside the C. Eugene Cato Memorial Scholarships announced previously, the IHSAA and IHSAA Foundation are proud to recognize and honor the legacies of legends and leaders of Indiana with recipients from nine scholarships: the Bobby & Kathy Cox Post- Secondary Scholarship, the David Cranfill Truehearted Teammate Award, the Pris Dillow “Seize the Day” Post-Secondary Scholarship, Amy Hasbrook Family Leadership Award, the Denny Lewis Legacy of Advocacy Post-Secondary Scholarship, the Lee Lonzo Champions Together Post- Secondary Scholarship, the Parker Amet Post- Secondary Scholarship, the James Robinson Pathway to Officiating Post-Secondary Scholarship, and the Sparks Foundation Post-Secondary Scholarship.
The Bobby and Kathy Cox Scholarship Endowment Fund was created in 2020 after Bobby Cox’s retirement as commissioner of the IHSAA. He and his wife Kathy were long time administrators in the state of Indiana, with 74 combined years as educators and supporters of education-based athletics. The scholarship was created to shine a light on senior student-athletes in the state of Indiana who will be the first in their families to attend a post-secondary education institution, while also showing outstanding teamwork, leadership, and good character throughout high school.
Two recipients from each of the three IHSAA districts were selected to receive a one-time $1,500 scholarship for post-secondary educational expenses.
Recipients of the Bobby & Kathy Cox Post Secondary Scholarship will be honored and recognized by Bobby and Kathy Cox for their achievement at a mutually agreed upon celebration with the IHSAA member school.
Isabella Dominguez of Tri-County High School is a recipient of this scholarship. She is a three-sport athlete, participating in softball, volleyball, and wrestling for the Cavaliers. Isabella has served as a team captain for both softball and wrestling and has earned All-Conference honors for softball. In addition, she earned Academic All-State honors for volleyball and softball. Dominguez is a member of Tri-County’s National Honor Society, Business Professionals of America, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Sunshine Society. Isabella will be attending Danville Area Community College to earn her associate’s degree and then plans to transfer to Purdue University to earn her bachelor’s degree.
Forté Orthopedic Research Institute will proudly honor two Indiana high school student-athletes with the 2025 Thomas A. Brady, MD Comeback Scholarship Award on Thursday, April 17 at the IHSAA Impact Awards. To be awarded, applicants must be nominated by an administrator from their school who believes they excel in each scholarship’s unique criteria and requirements.
Applications for all 10 scholarships were opened this past Spring with over 250 completed applications received from across the state.
The IHSAA Foundation’s Scholarship Committee, alongside representatives from the family and friends of each scholarship’s name, determined the final recipients based on the cumulative work and experiences in competition, within the classroom, and impact on their community.
Scholarships awarded range between $1,000 and $2,500 to be used for post-secondary educational expenses (4-year college, 2-year college, trade/technical school). Scholarships are to be awarded at ceremonies throughout this spring* – including the 2nd Annual IHSAA Foundation Impact Awards on Thursday, April 17th at Gridiron Hall, within the Indianapolis Colts Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center.
