Tanner Mock Memorial Scholarship
The Tanner Mock foundation was founded in 2023, when we lost Tanner. Our family received so much support from our friends and the community. It is our goal to see the foundation grow and not only serve the youth in our community, but also extend into the surrounding communities, not only through scholarship, but through other resources and outreaches that our foundation will be starting as well. We hope to continuously grow, enrich, and sow into the lives of more people as we continue this journey.
Thank you,
Kevin, Heather, and Carson Mock - The Founders
About the Scholarship
The Tanner Mock Foundation grants an educational scholarship for a student who displays honesty, high character, and integrity. The foundation will reward a student who excels in the classroom and in their chosen field of studies. The student that is recognized for this scholarship is forever challenged to lead a purpose-driven life and to leave a positive legacy.
The Tanner Mock Memorial Scholarship was established by the Tanner Mock Foundation and the Mock family. This scholarship is possible through the generous donations of many people in memory of Tanner.
Tanner Mock was 14 years old when he was called to heaven. A young man who loved the outdoors, baseball, and most of all Jesus. His legacy will continue to live on through this scholarship and other outreaches that our foundation will start for the youth in our communities.
