$1,000 Curtis Holloway Memorial Scholarship for Students Who Have Lost a Parent: This scholarship honors Curtis, a father who believed “Everything is Figureoutable.” Raised in poverty, he built a life and business from just $37 and became a steady source of strength for his child after they lost their mom at age 10.

Now, in his memory, this scholarship helps students who’ve lost a parent or were raised by a single parent — empowering them to chase their dreams, just like Curtis helped his child do.
