Kenneth Ford Family Endowed Scholarship for RecSports Student Employees
The Ford Family Endowed Scholarship honors three generations of Fords, all of which appear on the Wall of Fame. Kenney Ford Sr., his son, Dr. Ken Ford, and Dr. Ford's son, Casey, all earned intramural championships with their fraternity teammates. Their passion for intramural sports inspired the creation of this scholarship and their desire to help RecSports student employees working to pay their way through college.
Dr. Ken Ford graduated from medical school at UTMB in Galveston in 1969 and continues practicing medicine as an orthopedic surgeon. His career in the medical profession keeps him devoted to promoting the benefits of recreational sports programs for all ages.
