Jim Hallihan Character Legacy Scholarship

The Jim Hallihan Character Legacy Scholarship was created by his family in memory of a wonderful husband, father, brother,
uncle, coach and friend. Jim believed that good character was even more important than grades, success in sports, or excelling in
other talents. He believed in mentoring young people and often talked about the biblical principle of how challenges in life create
perseverance which builds character and leads to hope.

The scholarship will provide applicants the opportunity to share some of those challenges and experiences where their character
was tested, and they prevailed with good decisions and caring actions. We hope to provide opportunities for first generation
college students and/or underrepresented populations on a college campus. Through stories and narratives, the focus will be on
community service, volunteering, involvement in religious organizations and schools, and references of good character.
