Scholarships

A scholarship has been established in Clay’s name at Bishop Kenny High School. The scholarship will be awarded each year to the senior who best emulates Clay’s spirit and values. This student, through their demonstrated involvement, makes a difference in the lives of others. This senior must be of good conduct, participate in varsity sports, be of service to the community, and be in good academic standing.

The Clay Roberts Memorial Scholarship is funded by proceeds from the Clay Roberts Memorial Inshore Slam Fishing Tournament, private donations, and other fund raising events sponsored by In River Or Ocean, Inc. throughout the year.
