Tin Whistles Scholarship Foundation
[edit]The Tin Whistles Scholarship Foundation (TWSF) is dedicated to providing college scholarships to high-achieving students from Moore County high schools. Scholarship recipients demonstrate exceptional academic performance, leadership skills, community service, and financial need.
History
Since awarding its first scholarships in 1979, the TWSF has supported the college education of over 165 students through 2024 contributing over $2.1 million. Over its 40+ year history, the program has expanded significantly, welcoming new scholars to a distinguished roster of alumni who have excelled in a wide range of professions.
Key Milestones
1979: Awarded two four-year scholarships.
2024: Expanded to six four-year scholarships plus three nursing scholarships at Sandhills Community College.
The foundation’s founders, Parker Hall and Vice Admiral William E. Gentner, envisioned scholarships as a way to "give back" to the Moore County community they cherished. From its humble beginnings with two four-year scholarships, the program has grown to fund six four-year scholarships and three nursing scholarships annually. Over the past 40 years, Tin Whistles members have donated over $2 million in scholarships to 165 students (as of 2024). Recognized by The Pilot as the "Gold Standard" for scholarships in the county, the TWSF continues to make a lasting impact.
TWSF has a YouTube channel.
