2026 Drive for Leaders Photo Album
On Thursday, May 14, the Foundation celebrated the seniors during the 22nd Annual Drive for Leaders Golf Tournament hosted at GolfSuites Lubbock. In front of hundreds of parents, friends, Frenship administrators, Foundation board members, and sponsors, each student was individually recognized and presented with a Character Scholarship check in the amount of $1,400.
“Each year, our golf tournament sponsors look forward to meeting the scholarship recipients during the lunch ceremony,” said Tiffany Taylor, Frenship Foundation Executive Director. “Not only do our community partners see how their generosity is supporting our students and their education, but our seniors and parents get to meet those who are investing in their futures.”
The Foundation first began awarding Character Scholarships back in 2004 with a focus on character, leadership, volunteerism, and serving others. With only five students awarded scholarships in the first year, the program has grown tremendously over the last 22 years with the growth of donor support. For the 2025-2026 school year, the Foundation awarded 66 FHS seniors with Character Scholarships and another seven seniors at the Reese Education Center with scholarships for a grand total of $102,000 in scholarships.
“We are so grateful for our local businesses and community partners who pour into our students and see the value of awarding students based on their character, leadership, and service,” said Taylor. “Without such a strong community, our Foundation would not be able to support our students and staff in this way.”
This year’s golf tournament was a huge success thanks to the many sponsors including Title Sponsors United Supermarkets, Durham Transportation, and Viva Land Group. Congratulations to this year’s 2026 Frenship Foundation Character Scholarship recipients:
