Kylie Marie Heise Scholarship
The Kylie Marie Heise Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually by June 5, which marks Kylie Marie's birthday. Kylie Marie, who passed away on October 16, 2009, as a result of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, was the daughter of Kyle Heise and niece of Kevin Heise - two of the founders and integral members of Congaree Rapid FC in 1993.
A monetary scholarship along with a certificate is awarded to a graduated boys and girls senior soccer player who has played with CRFC. In addition, a donation to a charity chosen by the Heise Family will be made during the month of June.
