TAYLOR HAUGEN FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP
This $1500 scholarship is offered in the memory of Taylor Reid Haugen, Class of 2011. Two scholarships are awarded: One to a Niceville High School graduating senior and one to a Okaloosa County High School senior. Taylor was a member of the Niceville Eagles Football and Wrestling Teams as well as being an Honor Student at Niceville High School. He was comfortably expressive about his Christian faith and showed it through his commitment to volunteer work in his church and community. This scholarship was formed to recognize those qualities of balance between academics, athleticism, leadership, community service and faith.
