The Trax Scholarship program provides critical financial assistance while promoting education, personal growth, community development, and a sense of social responsibility. In 2025, Trax provided $10,500 in scholarships to nine students through two different scholarship opportunities. Applicants were required to submit an application and an essay or video based on the respective qualifications of each scholarship.
The Giorgianni Legacy Scholarship: Awarded to one student with a $2,500 scholarship, this program invites participants to explore the concept of legacy. Applicants submitted a video expressing what legacy means to them and how they plan to leave their mark on the world. This scholarship honors the memory of individuals who have made a lasting impact and challenges students to consider their own lasting contributions.

The Trax Academic Scholarship: With a focus on financial literacy and education, this scholarship awarded $1,000 each to eight students. Applicants were asked to design a financial literacy program tailored for high school students in their community. Their essays outlined key components of their proposed programs, emphasizing how these initiatives would equip young people with the knowledge and skills necessary for financial independence and long-term success.
