JAGUARS INVESTING IN EDUCATION
Jaguars Owner Shad Khan and Harry
Frisch, Founder of Beaver Street Fisheries
both were immigrants to America and
grateful for the opportunities they had to
achieve the American dream. Their shared
belief in the value of education and high
character led them to form the Shad Khan
and Harry Frisch Scholarship Program.
The scholarship program supports
graduating high-school seniors who have
successfully completed the Jacksonville
Jaguars Foundation’s Honor Rows Program
and/or have exhibited a growth mindset
in their personal and academic life. These
scholarships help to support emerging
freshman attending the University of
North Florida, Florida State College at
Jacksonville, or an accredited college,
university, or technical training school that
is recognized as a two-year or four-year
program.
This year the Jaguars Foundation is
partnering with City Year to host Family
FAFSA Workshops at four local high schools.
These workshops are designed to share
the latest information on federal and state
fi nancial aid programs as well as resources
for scholarships, including the Shad Khan and
Harry Frisch Scholarship, with the families
of graduating seniors. The goal is to help
increase Duval County’s FAFSA completion
rate by helping to combat challenges that may
keep families from attending these important
sessions.
Most visible on game day is the Jaguars
Foundation’s Honor Rows program. Presented
by “Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow,” Honor Rows
is a nationally recognized program that uses
seats at Jaguars home games as incentives
for youth to set and achieve goals in the areas
of academic improvement, personal behavior,
physical fi tness, and community service.
The Jaguars Foundation partners with 40
Jacksonville-area nonprofi ts to provide more
than 6,000 children with a game day experience
each season. Approximately 55,000 kids have
participated in Honor Rows since 1995. “Alert
Today, Alive Tomorrow” is a campaign in
conjunction with the Florida Department of
Transportation that is a pedestrian and bicycle
safety initiative.
