THE TK9 SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The TK9 Scholarship Fund honors the life and legacy of Tyler Koscinski by providing financial assistance to student-athletes who share his passion for both academics and athletics. Tyler’s drive, discipline, and love for competition inspired this fund—created to help young athletes pursue their collegiate dreams and overcome financial barriers.

The scholarship supports student-athletes striving to reach their full potential in the classroom, on the field, court, or any arena of play. Whether their goals are academic, athletic, or a balance of both, the TK9 Fund offers flexible support tailored to each recipient’s unique needs. With no set award amounts, we’re able to assist as many deserving students as possible every year.

By helping student-athletes continue their education and athletic journeys, the TK9 Scholarship Fund ensures that Tyler’s passion for sports, learning, and life continues to inspire generations to come. Through this program, we celebrate perseverance, teamwork, and heart—the same qualities that made Tyler who he was, and continue to define those who play hard and think hard.
