Recipient of Inaugural Nick Dunlap Scholarship Announced: Roll Call

Former Alabama and current PGA Tour golfer Nick Dunlap partnered with Folds of Honor to create a yearly scholarship for a UA student. Folds of Honor provides educational scholarships to spouses and children of America's fallen and disabled military service members and first responders.

Dunlap's scholarship was awarded on Wednesday to University of Alabama graduate Kylie Baldeosingh, who will be attending graduate school in Tuscaloosa, studying communication disorders with a career goal to become a speech-language pathologist.

Her two sisters are also Folds of Honor scholarship recipients, as they honor their father, Sgt. Juan Carlos Baldeosingh, who was killed in action in Iraq in 2009 while serving with the Army National Guard.

“Folds has helped me in countless ways, including allowing me to continue my education at the University of Alabama," Baldeosingh said in a PGA Tour press release. I would not be where I am today without this foundation. It has enabled me and my sisters to achieve our goals, and it has provided us with the ability to tell our story about my father, Sgt. Juan Carlos, who was killed in action. I am lucky to be a part of such a remarkable organization where their mission is to support families and people like me.”

“Folds of Honor is such an impactful organization, and it is an absolute honor to award Kylie with this scholarship,” Dunlap said in the press release. “I am beyond blessed to be able to pursue my dreams on the golf course, and I would not be able to do so without the sacrifice, support, and dedication from the military and first responders. I do not take that for granted. Kylie has a very bright future ahead of her and I cannot wait to see what she accomplishes.”

Saban won a National Championship during his tenure in Baton Rouge, La., but none of that success would've happened if it weren't for his wife, Ms. Terry. He shared a hilarious story during his induction into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame about how Ms. Terry got him the LSU job.
