The applications are available on the web (you can google Don Patton Scholarship 2012), ask your school guidance department or I have tried to post a link below as well. I would also encourage folks to send donations as well to help increase size of scholarships and # of scholarships. Both applications and donations can be sent to:

Background:
Don Patton was a five-time Indiana State Champion Wrestling Coach and Athletic Director at Delta High School. As a legendary coach he was known for his generosity, caring, enthusiasm, competitive spirit and willingness to help students, wrestlers, coaches and officials wherever he went. His dedication and willingness to work hard enabled him to overcome colon cancer at the age of 32 as he served as a role model for athletes and coaches across the state. Don?s death in September 2003 left a void in the Indiana sports family. The Donald Lee Patton memorial Scholarship was created to inspire those students who exhibit Don?s dedication to hard work, enthusiasm, and attaining one?s aspirations in all facets of life.
