Celebrating Our 2025 Scholarship Recipients

The Jed Martin #6 Foundation is proud to announce eight recipients of the 2025 Jed Martin Memorial Scholarship, awarded to outstanding students who embody the heart of our mission:  honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Joshua Jed Martin through demonstrated academic success and outstanding character. Jed lived with intensity, pouring his whole heart into faith, family, and his career as an optometrist. Even in the face of hardship, he lived “all in,” inspiring others with his strength and character.

Through the Jed Martin #6 Foundation Memorial Scholarship, we carry that legacy forward by recognizing high school seniors who have demonstrated not only academic success, but also outstanding character, resilience, and a commitment to giving their very best.

This year’s recipients come from diverse backgrounds and areas of study, yet each shares the qualities that the Foundation exists to honor – determination, compassion for others, and a vision for making a difference in the world.

These scholarships are made possible through the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and supporters who believe in investing in the next generation of leaders. Every contribution, whether through our annual golf tournament, apparel sales, or individual gifts, plays a vital role in helping these students achieve their educational dreams.
