The 2024 Class Joins Nearly 900 Tillman Scholars Honoring 20 Years of Carrying
Pat Tillman's Legacy Forward.

CHICAGO, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pat Tillman Foundation (PTF) announces 60 new Tillman Scholars, comprised of active-duty military, veterans, and spouses. Selected from nearly 1,600 applications, these individuals are models of service, scholarship, humble leadership, and impact. The Tillman scholarships will fund their pursuit of higher education in impact areas such as healthcare, business, and STEM, allowing them to continue serving their communities.

Two Decades of Investing in Future Impact
Founded by Pat Tillman's family and friends, PTF honors his service by investing in future leaders. Over the past twenty years, PTF has raised $34 million, supporting over 900 Tillman Scholars at more than 150 universities.

"Reflecting on two decades of honoring Pat's legacy, I'm continually inspired by the dedication and service embodied in Tillman Scholars," said Marie Tillman Shenton, Board Chair and Co-Founder of PTF. "Their commitment to making a difference echoes Pat's spirit. We are honored to support them as they continue to create a ripple effect of positive impact."

A Legacy Carried by Leaders
In 2002, Pat Tillman proudly put his NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals on hold to serve his country. In 2004, Pat's family and friends started the Pat Tillman Foundation to carry forward that legacy. PTF provides academic scholarships and support to elite military service members, veterans, and spouses to help them reach their fullest potential as leaders—no matter how they choose to serve.

"With each new class of Tillman Scholars, the powerful impact of Pat's legacy is further realized as these scholars influence future generations of leaders; we have a long and sustainable runway to continue honoring Pat's path and legacy. ," said Katherine Steele, CEO and 2014 Tillman Scholar, "We unite and empower military veterans, active duty personnel, and spouses to become the next generation of public and private sector leaders for the next 20 years."
