Nathan George was a remarkable young man, known for his passion for life and love of sports. A 2000 graduate of Fredonia High School, Nathan was lost in a car accident at age 27. His family and friends raised funds through softball tournaments and established this scholarship fund in his memory and honor. First awarded in 2010, the Nathan George Memorial Scholarship is a reflection of Nate’s love for sports. Applicants are selected based on sports participation, academic standing, and letters of recommendation. Fredonia and Dunkirk High School student-athletes are eligible to apply.
