The Knoxville Panther Scholarship Foundation strives to encourage post high school education and provide scholarships to every Knoxville High School graduating senior who applies.

The Foundation was established in 2003 and held its first annual awards banquet in May of 2004. As a local, volunteer organization, the program's success is rooted in the tremendous response from contributors who represent alumni, private citizens, businesses, and service
organizations. Our mission is to encourage post high school education and to provide a scholarship to every Knoxville High School graduate that applies.

Since 2004, the Knoxville Panther Scholarship Foundation has awarded more than $850,000 in scholarships to 1096 Knoxville High School graduates. In 2017, the Knoxville Panther Scholarship Foundation awarded scholarships to 88 members of the KHS Class of 2017. Additionally, second year scholarships funded by Don and Margaret Long were awarded to 45 members of the KHS Class of 2016. Our Foundation also awarded post-secondary scholarships to 65  members of the KHS Classes of 2014 and 2015.
