The Bootstraps Foundation, established in 1986, is dedicated to supporting the educational aspirations of students in Middle Tennessee who have shown resilience and determination in the face of adversity. With over $1 million in scholarships granted since its inception, the foundation aims to empower young individuals who will become future leaders in their communities, businesses, and country.
Each year, the foundation accepts nominations from high schools in several Middle Tennessee counties, and award winners are selected by a panel of judges who understand the importance of self-motivation. Finalists undergo personal interviews with the Bootstraps Selection Committee, and the winners are announced and honored at the foundation's Annual Banquet held in Nashville every May.
