About The Iron Ranger Foundation
The Iron Ranger Foundation is a non-profit organization that awards scholarships to support self-motivated high school students who have succeeded and shown self-discipline and resilience despite the loss of parental guidance and support. We are committed to helping these students overcome adversity and achieve their educational goals.
Our scholarship program is open to graduating seniors with a financial need and demonstrated character of resilience, positive attitude, and genuine interest in furthering their education. Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.0, a total family annual income under $100,000, and plan to attend a 2- or 4-year college, aviation pilot’s course, or other technical school.
We believe that all students deserve the opportunity to succeed in college, regardless of their circumstances. Our scholarship program is designed to help students overcome the financial and emotional challenges they may be facing so that they can focus on their studies and achieve their goals.
We are grateful for the support of our donors and volunteers, who make our scholarship program possible. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of young people and helping them build a brighter future.
