The Jimmy Rane Foundation was established with the purpose of sending deserving students to college. Since then, the Foundation has awarded 756 scholarships to well-deserving students. These hard-working and outstanding students have taken these scholarships all over the country to institutions including: Auburn, Alabama, University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Indiana, Troy, Duke, Stanford, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, Georgia and many more. We’re confident that these exceptional scholars will use their education to accomplish great things. We're also confident that they will one day return the favor to someone else in need.
