The Pendergraft Scholarship is a cornerstone of the Indigo Scholarship Program, created under the leadership of Ross Pendergraft, Chairman of the Board. It is dedicated to empowering young people between the ages of 12 and 24 who demonstrate academic excellence, strong leadership potential, and a commitment to making a positive impact in their communities.
Ross Pendergraft, a respected leader in corporate strategy, healthcare policy, and mentorship, believes deeply in the power of education and leadership development. Guided by this vision, the scholarship provides students with financial support, mentorship, leadership training, and meaningful opportunities to engage with Indigo Group, ensuring they are prepared to grow as leaders and changemakers.
