Ty Cobb Educational Foundation
The Foundation was established by the late Tyrus R. Cobb for
the purpose of assisting capable and deserving residents of Georgia who need
financial assistance in completing their college education.
Foundation scholarships are granted to qualified students
for the purpose of attending an accredited college or university full
time.
Although Ty Cobb’s top annual salary as a baseball player
was less than $40,000, his shrewd investments made him a financial success at
an early age.
One of the many investments that contributed to his early
success was the purchase of stock in a little-known Southern beverage company
called Coca-Cola. Cobb’s financial prosperity eventually allowed him to
establish a scholarship program that has to date assisted thousands of
Georgians to attend college.
