DIXIE SOFTBALL WILL GIVE OUT 15 SCHOLARSHIPS IN 2025 VALUED AT $2,000.00 EACH. THE MAIN GOAL OF DIXIE SOFTBALL IS TO OFFER THE GIRLS THAT PLAY DIXIE SOFTBALL THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF PLAYING SOFTBALL POSSIBLE. THE MAIN FUNCTION OF DIXIE SOFTBALL HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO OFFER A FUN SOFTBALL PROGRAM FOR ALL THE GIRLS THAT PLAY DIXIE SOFTBALL.  A GIRL MUST HAVE PLAYED AT LEAST THREE (3) YEARS OF DIXIE SOFTBALL, BE A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL OF THE CURRENT PLAYING SEASON OF THE APPLICATION, AND THEIR LEAGUE MUST BE AN ELIGIBLE DIXIE SOFTBALL PROGRAM. 

DIXIE SOFTBALL DOES NOT PROMOTE ITS SOFTBALL PROGRAM AS A WAY FOR ITS PLAYERS TO EARN A COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP THROUGH THEIR SOFTBALL PLAYING ABILITY AS A NUMBER OF SOFTBALL PROGRAMS DO, ESPECIALLY "TRAVEL BALL" PROGRAMS.  HOWEVER, A GREAT NUMBER OF DIXIE SOFTBALL PLAYERS HAVE RECEIVED SOFTBALL ATHLETIC COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS AND HAVE MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO NCAA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY AND SOME BECAME MIDDLE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL, AND MAJOR COLLEGE COACHES, EVEN HEAD COACHES. OVER 90% OF COLLEGE PLAYERS RECEIVE COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS STRICTLY BASED ON THEIR HIGH SCHOOL PLAY AND NOTHING ELSE. DIXIE SOFTBALL SCHOLARSHIPS ARE BASED ON THE SCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENTS OF A PLAYER, REGARDLESS OF THEIR PLAYING ABILITY.  THROUGH THE DIXIE SOFTBALL SCHOLARSHIP FUND, DIXIE SOFTBALL IS ABLE TO OFFER THE GIRLS A LITTLE HELP IN FURTHERING THEIR EDUCATION.

IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO DONATE TO THE DIXIE SOFTBALL FUND THEY CAN DO SO MY MAILING A CHECK TO: DOUG GARRETT, SCHOLARSHIP CHAIRMAN, 106 WOODLAKE DRIVE, PINEVILLE, LA 71360. THE MORE FUNDS DIXIE SOFTBALL RECEIVES, THE MORE SCHOLARSHIPS CAN BE GIVEN OUT.  NOTE: WHEN A LEAGUE GOES TO FRANCHISE THEIR DIXIE SOFTBALL TEAMS THERE IS A PLACE WHERE A DONATION CAN BE MADE TO THE DIXIE SOFTBALL SCHOLARSHIP FUND.  ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
