Our FINAL Home Plate Art Auction ended on May 8., 2014. The Fund will continue to award scholarships to upperclass students majoring in Journalism/Broadcasting.

Jim Elder touched all kinds of people every day, always in a positive way. He took great delight in helping others and even greater pride in their accomplishments. We know he would be cheering on the students who receive scholarships in his name. We also provide support to RBI at Lamar Porter Field, and the PAL Baseball program in North Little Rock.

This is the FINAL year we will be sending out scholarship applications for Juniors and Seniors majoring in Journalism/Broadcasting at Arkansas colleges or universities. Any winner with second year of eligibility will receive scholarship for that year as well. These scholarships are NOT limited to sports.

We have chosen more than 50 scholarship winners and about 40 one time finalist award winners since 1999, the year after Jim Elder's death. It's been an privilege for us to know and support such a diverse group of students with varied goals and talents. We are very proud of their accomplishments, and know that Jim is cheering them on from the pressbox.

Help us to spread the word to make sure that students who most deserve and need the help are aware of this aid. Applications have been mailed to Department heads at Arkansas colleges and universities. Copies of downloadable applications will also be on the Jim Elder website very soon.

Everything is different this year. We had more scholarship applications than we've had in many years, and they were all worthy of consideration. We could only manage to narrow down to seven finalists, as opposed to our usual Final Four. For the first time, we did our interviews via Zoom, and every one of our finalists impressed us.

Given that we are in a time when making ends meet is even more difficult for students and their families, we have decided to give all seven of our finalists a $6000 scholarship to help them continue their education. Four of them will receive the scholarship again for their Senior year.

We are extremely honored to help these fine students, and we know we will be proud of them for a long time. And we are certain that Jim Elder is cheering them on.
