etermination, Focus, Perseverance, Courage, Self-discipline, Leadership. The Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc., celebrates these qualities
on the football field through the Biletnikoff Award, which recognizes college football's most
outstanding receiver. The Foundation also recognizes and rewards these qualities in our
community by providing financial assistance through scholarships to deserving Leon County graduating high school achievers.
This scholarship program recognizes the students' excellence in academic and community
activities. These high school seniors have succeeded in spite of
significant physical, emotional, and other challenges faced during their young-adult years. The
Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation evaluates their academic achievements,
character, involvement in school and community projects, as well as the "nature of the challenges they have overcome."
With the awarding of the 2008-2009 scholarships, the Biletnikoff Award Scholarship program will have awarded more than 80 college scholarships during its 14-year history.
