Every great bowler starts with a dream — and a little help along the way. The 2026 Bob Smith Memorial Bowling Scholarship is now accepting applications, giving youth bowlers the chance to turn passion into opportunity.
This annual scholarship honors the legacy of Bob Smith, a longtime advocate for youth bowling and education. It’s open to high school seniors and college freshmen who demonstrate dedication to the sport, academic achievement, and community involvement. Whether you’re competing in leagues, volunteering at your local center, or just starting your journey on the lanes, this is your chance to be recognized.
Applications close January 31st, 2026, and recipients will be announced at this summer’s youth bowling banquet. Awards can be applied toward tuition, books, or related school expenses.
Don’t miss out—apply today and celebrate the sport that connects us all.
