Contributor
The Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., the Florida-based creator and sponsor of the prestigious Biletnikoff Award, presented to the season's outstanding FBS receiver in college football regardless of position, calls for college and vocational school scholarship applications from qualifying high school seniors in the North Florida counties of Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Jackson, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, Madison, Suwannee and Wakulla.
The Foundation will award a substantial amount in benefits for 2023 graduating seniors for college, university and vocational school scholarships. The scholarships may be used at any college, university or vocational school in the United States.
The candidates must have overcome a significant mental, physical, emotional or environmental challenge to achieve at the highest academic and extracurricular levels. The extracurricular achievement does not require playing a sport, although sports participation does qualify for the extracurricular requirement.

Applicants may submit their applications as early as Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2022; academic transcripts through December of 2022 should be submitted as soon as possible in January by the school or in a sealed envelope from the school by the applicant.
