Hunterdon County Bulldogs Scholarship Fund
We will grant $1,000 scholarships to 6 students graduating in 2024. One from each high school and one from the homeschool network in Hunterdon County, who meet the below qualifications.

These funds were raised through golf fees and sponsorships at the 2023 Hunterdon County Bulldogs Marine Corps League golf outing.

Kevin Patrick Bogle Scholarship Fund
In addition, we have an additional one-time scholarship fund of in memory of a Marine Kevin Patrick Bogle,1985-2022. Kevin was a USMC veteran, son, brother, uncle, friend and avid golfer. The 2024 Kevin Patrick Bogle Scholarship is $15,672.80!

These funds were raised through golf outing donations made in Kevin Patrick Bogle’s name specified for this scholarship fund at the 2023 Hunterdon County Bulldogs Marine Corps League golf outing.

The best essay, out of all the qualified submissions received, will be awarded this one-time Kevin Patrick Bogle Scholarship in full. The scholarships will not be combined and granted to a singular individual; therefore, the committee will pull the next best essay/application from that school to receive the $1,000 Hunterdon County Bulldogs scholarship.
