George Reeves had a deep foundation in the arts, sports, and served in the US Army Corps in WWII. All his extracurricular activities prepared him for future roles as an actor, for his special assignments in the war, and for his charitable work with children around the country. We would like to award this scholarship to an individual who best embodies him.

George Reeves Memorial is a non-profit charitable organization.
