Linda Craig Memorial Scholarship
Offered by Pacers Foundation
About this scholarship
The Linda Craig Memorial Scholarship supports an Indiana college student preparing for work in medicine, sports medicine, physical therapy, athletic training, or a closely related discipline. The Pacers Foundation requires applicants to have completed at least one year of college, which makes this an opportunity for continuing undergraduates rather than incoming first-year students. The 2027 application asks for a personal statement, a current college transcript, and a recommendation from a professor in the applicant's major. Those materials should demonstrate both academic preparation and a clear connection between the student's field of study and the health or sports-medicine professions the scholarship was created to support. The official page lists April 30, 2027 as the deadline and links directly to the live Pacers Foundation form. The foundation says its scholarships average about $2,500, but it does not promise a fixed Linda Craig award amount; applicants should therefore treat the value as variable rather than relying on a directory estimate. The scholarship honors Linda Lorraine Sharvelle Craig, a longtime Indiana Pacers athletic trainer.
