The story of the Clay Elliott Scholarship Foundation

The Clay Elliott Scholarship Foundation is the result of the love and admiration that five grandchildren had for their grandfather. Upon his passing, Clay’s grandchildren felt compelled to do something to honor his memory.

The nature and character of The Clay Elliott Scholarship Foundation is the result of the appreciation for education instilled in the five grandchildren of Clay Elliott. All those who form The Clay Elliott Scholarship Foundation share this appreciation and understand its importance. Being different than other scholarship opportunities, the emphasis is on the development of the individual. The Clay Elliott Scholarship Foundation does not define applicants based on their marks. The purpose is to award youth who demonstrate the right attitude. In approaching the future, strength is drawn from the understanding that education is something which should be afforded to anyone willing to learn. Collectively, the work of the Clay Elliott Scholarship Foundation represents: honesty, innovation, dedication and excellence.
