Tanner Morse Memorial Scholarship
Tanner Morse’s life was heartbreakingly short, taken too soon in an ATV accident at just four years old.
Even in his few precious years, Tanner’s love for basketball was impossible to miss. He adored watching his older cousins and family play, cheering louder than anyone in the stands. The moment the final buzzer sounded, Tanner would dash onto the court with a grin that could light up the gym, proudly showing off his own little dribbling skills to anyone who was watching.
This scholarship is a tribute to Tanner’s joyful spirit and boundless love for the game. It’s meant to keep his memory alive by helping passionate young athletes chase their dreams on the court, in the classroom, and in life.
Any high school senior in Maine who plays basketball is invited to apply. To apply, tell us what basketball means to you and how it’s shaping the person you’re becoming.
