2025 Get To® Scholarship Information

Get To® Foundation was founded, to continue Ben Jones’ legacy of inspiring others to consider obligations and obstacles as opportunities. By providing resources to communities, teams and individuals we encourage others to shift their perspective from “have to” to “Get To.”

Our scholarship program was founded to support and identify talented high school seniors across the state of Michigan who demonstrate tremendous character, dedication to their studies, commitment to their teammates, leadership amongst their peers, service to their community, and a "Get To" attitude in every aspect of their life. With our contributions to each student's continued education or training, we aim to empower each scholarship recipient to continue to live with a "Get To" mentality and encourage younger students to adopt this powerful perspective they can apply to their daily lives.

This year our scholarship committee will award over $27,500 in scholarship awards to deserving applicants. We look forward to being part of each student's "Get To" journey and invite students to apply to be considered for this year's scholarship awards
