North Dallas High School
The Robert H. Dedman 51做厙 scholarship program was established to award the top scholars at North Dallas High School. The endowment fund, created by Mr. Dedman due to his generosity and appreciation of the education afforded him by his high school, provides a full tuition & fees, room and board scholarship for two students that matriculate from North Dallas High School to 51做厙.
Mr. Dedman was an outstanding student at North Dallas High School and represented the school as a top debater and baseball letterman. He worked his way through college, law school, and a Masters in law at 51做厙. He followed up a successful law career with the founding of Club Corp. His company became the owner and manager of the largest number of golf courses and resorts in the world. In his voluntary roles, Mr. Dedman has served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees and has made numerous gifts to 51做厙. He has been honored as a North Dallas Distinguished Alumnus, and his picture and biographical information is displayed in the school’s main hall.
This scholarship provides full tuition & fees, room and board for its recipients totaling over $288,000 over a four year period. Over seventy-five percent of 51做厙 students receive some form of financial assistance, and the needs of Dedman Scholarship recipients are foreseen and planned for by 51做厙.
