About
The Luke R. Smith Foundation Scholarship was created to help student-athletes continue pursuing the opportunities that mean the most to them. Whether that means training, equipment, program fees, camps, or other expenses associated with their sport, our goal is to lessen some of the financial burden and help athletes keep moving forward.
Athletics played an important role in Luke’s life. Through this scholarship, we are able to carry that passion forward by supporting young athletes who demonstrate dedication, character, and a genuine love for their sport.

A Legacy Through Athletics
For Luke, sports were about much more than competition. They were about friendships, hard work, belonging, and being part of something bigger than yourself.
Every scholarship awarded in his name allows another young athlete to experience those same opportunities. It is one of the many ways Luke’s impact continues — through the athletes who are given the chance to keep playing, growing, and chasing what they love.
