Meet the 2024 Jim Kennedy Scholarship Fund Winners

08/21/2024

Each year, the Jim Kennedy Scholarship Fund selects 15 new scholarship recipients based on financial need and demonstrated commitment to personal growth. The recipients are chosen by an independent committee. Established in 2008 and personally funded by Cox Enterprises Chairman Emeritus Jim Kennedy, the program is open to any high school senior whose parent has worked at a Cox company full-time for at least three years. The scholarship provides $10,000 annually toward the cost of tuition for up to four years if students maintain eligibility requirements for renewal.

The 2024 winners were selected from nearly 150 applicants across the Cox family of companies.
