Since 1986, the Davey O’Brien High School Scholarship has provided over $1.2 million to outstanding high school senior student-athletes in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. With this award, the Davey O’Brien Foundation seeks to encourage those qualities that will prepare outstanding young people to assume productive leadership roles in their adult lives.
Each year the Foundation is pleased to award the winner of the High School Scholarship Award a $30,000 scholarship to be paid towards tuition, room and board, and books. The remaining finalists will each receive a $2,500 award. The winner is announced at our annual High School Scholarship Luncheon, then honored at the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award Dinner in February.
The High School Scholarship Award is underwritten by a generous donation from Higginbotham and Simmons Bank.
