Since 2002, over 50 young men and women have benefited from a Mustang Scholarship. With exceptional drive and determination, our Mustang Scholars rise from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to fulfill their promise.
The magic of Mustang Scholars Foundation is the leverage that can be obtained for a relatively small investment. In collaboration with Valley Forge Military Academy and College and ROTC, Mustang Scholars is able to obtain education at a lower cost, providing more opportunities to deserving young people
Those who support the Mustang Scholars Foundation are a different breed,
too. And every year, in saluting all those who offer their generous support to the Mustang Scholars Foundation, we honor one person who has gone above and beyond the call of duty in making a positive impact in business and in their community.
On Wednesday, September 12, 2012 we proudly honored Rich Hocker, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of PENN Capital Management Company, investment banking pioneer, humanitarian and philanthropist.
