    Character Counts Scholarship: $10,000 Award

    At Parker & Sons, we believe that character matters both on and off the field. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Arizona Sports to offer the Character Counts Scholarship, a $10,000 award to honor local high school students who exemplify outstanding character and community involvement.

    How It Works:

    Nominate a student who stands out for their character! Whether you’re a teacher, coach, parent, peer, or even the student yourself, anyone can submit a nomination.
