2026 Community Scholars Application is Open!

What began as four one-time $2,500 scholarships has grown to $20,000 ($5,000/year) scholarships thanks to the Bob and Jeanne Coughlin Foundation and Skyline Chili. These $20,000 scholarships ($5,000/year) will be awarded to 14+ high school students who are members of their high school’s cross country or track & field team. They must exemplify our mission of giving back to the community while also showcasing a passion for running. The core values we’ll be looking for in an applicant are dedication, teamwork, and service to their school and community. If you are a high school student of this caliber, then we encourage you to apply.
