The 2024 Class Joins Nearly 900 Tillman
Scholars Honoring 20 Years of Carrying
Pat Tillman's Legacy Forward.
CHICAGO, June 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pat Tillman Foundation (PTF)
announces 60 new Tillman Scholars, comprised of active-duty
military, veterans, and spouses. Selected from nearly 1,600
applications, these individuals are models of service, scholarship,
humble leadership, and impact. The Tillman scholarships will fund
their pursuit of higher education in impact areas such as
healthcare, business, and STEM, allowing them to continue serving
their communities.
Two Decades of Investing in Future Impact
Founded by
Pat Tillman's family and friends,
PTF honors his service by investing in future leaders. Over the
past twenty years, PTF has raised $34
million, supporting over 900 Tillman Scholars at more than
150 universities.
"Reflecting on two decades of honoring Pat's legacy, I'm
continually inspired by the dedication and service embodied in
Tillman Scholars," said Marie Tillman
Shenton, Board Chair and Co-Founder of PTF. "Their
commitment to making a difference echoes Pat's spirit. We are
honored to support them as they continue to create a ripple effect
of positive impact."
A Legacy Carried by Leaders
In 2002, Pat Tillman proudly put his NFL career with the
Arizona Cardinals on hold to serve his country. In 2004, Pat's
family and friends started the Pat Tillman Foundation to carry
forward that legacy. PTF provides academic scholarships and support
to elite military service members, veterans, and spouses to help
them reach their fullest potential as leaders—no matter how they
choose to serve.
"With each new class of Tillman Scholars, the powerful impact of
Pat's legacy is further realized as these scholars influence future
generations of leaders; we have a long and sustainable runway to
continue honoring Pat's path and legacy. ," said Katherine Steele, CEO and 2014 Tillman Scholar,
"We unite and empower military veterans, active duty personnel, and
spouses to become the next generation of public and private sector
leaders for the next 20 years."
