Frank R. Williams Scholarship Fund Application 2022
The late Frank Rudolph Williams was a devoted teacher, coach and father who instilled in his students the importance of receiving an education, working hard and being a leader in the community. Throughout his childhood, these ideals were fostered in Frank by his parents and teachers in the District of Columbia Public Schools. Eventually, they would become the focus of his work with young people and lead him to a life dedicated to serving others.

Throughout his life, “the pigeon toed ball handler and flashy playmaker” was known as a hard worker and excellent teacher of the game of basketball. During his tenure as the head basketball coach at Calvin Coolidge High School, 95% of his students attended college and went on to serve the community in a variety of capacities. For Frank, this was more important than any of the other honors bestowed upon him. In May of 1987 at the age of 43, Frank lost his life to brain cancer.

His wife, Helen Williams, and daughters, Ryann and Randi, started the Frank R. Williams Scholarship Fund, Inc. (FRW Scholarship Fund, Inc.) to share his ideals with future generations of student athletes. The mission of the Fund is to provide financial support to Coolidge High School senior student athletes who are seeking higher education. Awardees must display success on the field, exhibit strong leadership qualities and a commitment to education as well as servicing their community. At the conclusion of this academic year, the Fund will award its annual scholarship of $4,000 ($1,000 per year for four years) to assist a deserving student as they pursue higher education. This year, the Fund will also award a scholarship funded by the William and Sheila Konar Foundation in the amount of $4,000 ($1,000 per year for four years). One student will be selected for the annual scholarship and one student will be selected to receive the Konar supported scholarship.
