The TaxSlayer Gator Bowl’s mission is to provide Northeast Florida with the very best in college athletics and related activities in order to maximize positive impact on the area’s economy, national image and community pride. Throughout their generosity, TaxSlayer is offering the Gator Bowl Charities Award of Excellence Scholarship. The Gator Bowl Charities Award of Excellence Scholarship consists of a one-time gift of $2,500 that is given out to four senior student-athletes for use at any accredited University or College.
To be eligible to receive the Gator Bowl Charities Award of Excellence scholarship, the applicant must: be a graduating senior at a local high school in Northeast Florida or Southeast Georgia; maintain 3.0+ GPA (on an unweighted 4.0 scale) from an accredited high school; participate in a junior varsity or varsity sport or its equivalent (dance, gymnastics, etc.); participate in extra-curricular activities through school, church and the community; and exhibit exemplary behavior, thereby being a good role model for peers.
