Carl Deal, Jr., Memorial Scholarship
Deadline to apply: April 5, 2026
Amount: Two awards expected of $2,000 each
This scholarship was created in honor of Carl Deal, Jr. Mr. Deal felt a strong passion for The Boys & Girls Club and a deep appreciation for its strong commitment to our community as well as its impact on the lives of his family and friends. Carl was a long-time Boys & Girls Club member and wanted to give back to the young people of this community. Upon his death, his friends, co-workers, and family coordinated a fundraiser known as “King’s Blues, BBQ & Funkfest” to raise funds to create a scholarship to be presented annually to a current or former Boys & Girls Club member for post-secondary education or training.
