The Field and Mary Scovell Scholarship Foundation honors the legacy of longtime Dallas ambassador and Cotton Bowl team selection chairman Field Scovell, and his wife of nearly 50 years, Mary, both of whom had a passion for young people and education.

Established in 1991, the Scovell Foundation annually awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to North Texas youths with high moral character, leadership abilities, financial need and a connection to sports.

The Scovell Foundation is a volunteer-directed 501 (c) (3) organization. More than 99 percent of all Scovell Foundation contributions go to student scholarships.

The Foundation has awarded more than $300,000 in college grants to deserving students. The Scovell Foundation is housed within the administrative offices of the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic.
