The Don and Roy Splawn Charitable Foundation West Scholarship Grant Program is open to financially disadvantaged students who wish to further their pursuit of post secondary education; whether it be of an academic or vocational nature. Our goal is to minimally assist and provide a spark of meritorial acknowledgement in the form of monetary funds upon high school graduation and shepherd these students through their college education, assuming they continue to meet our criteria upon annual review.

Scholastic achievement is paramount, but life experiences of extreme hardship are our key motivators in our initial selection. The Foundation gives the opportunity to re-apply on a yearly basis through additional applications until their date of graduation. These updated applications either affirm or deny the lessons learned from life. Unlike other programs, our financial assistance can be used for most education related expenses. We seek those candidates that exhibit true integrity, complete respect of and dignity for the human element. They must be willing to persevere, toil and give back to their community during and especially after graduation. The profoundness of our judgments are reflected in the future.
