Ty
Cobb Educational Foundation |
||
| The
Foundation was established by the late Tyrus R. Cobb for the purpose
of assisting capable and deserving residents of Georgia who need
financial assistance in completing their college education. All scholarships are granted without subsequent
obligation of the student to the Foundation; however, former recipients
and others are urged to make contributions to the Ty Cobb Educational
Foundation when circumstances permit. |

| Although Ty Cobb's
top annual salary as a baseball player was less than $40,000, his
shrewd investments made him a financial success at an early age. One of the many investments that contributed to his early success was the purchase of stock in a little-known Southern beverage company called Coca-Cola. Cobb's financial prosperity eventually allowed him to establish a scholarship program that has to date assisted thousands of Georgians to attend college. |
