Johnny Price IV Scholarship - Recognizing Outstanding Baseball Players Off the Field

Applications for the Johnny Price IV Memorial College Scholarship are now being accepted. This scholarship is unique to other scholarships for the fact that no GPA, ACT, or other statistics on or off the baseball field are taken into consideration.
 
The Johnny Price IV Memorial College Scholarship is open to all high school senior baseball players who exemplify the characteristics of the late Johnny Price IV, a Lakeville standout who often spoke of his desire to help others experience the sense of belonging that comes from being part of a team. Johnny's kindness, empathy, and thoughtfulness towards other will always live on.
