The Jake Fruge Jr Scholarship

The Jake Fruge Jr Scholarship is a $1,000 annual award created by entrepreneur and CEO Jake Fruge Jr. to give every college student a fair shot at success — regardless of their GPA, field of study, or financial background.

Jake Fruge Jr. knows firsthand what it means to overcome obstacles. Growing up in 30 cities, attending 19 schools, and facing unimaginable hardship, Jake Fruge Jr. built a nine-figure holdings company from nothing. This scholarship reflects his belief that every student deserves the chance to write their own success story.

Each year, one student is selected to receive $1,000 toward their education. There is no essay requirement, no minimum cumulative GPA, and the scholarship is open to students enrolled in any graduate or undergraduate program at any accredited U.S. college or university.
