Kylie Marie Heise Scholarship

The Kylie Marie Heise Memorial Scholarship is awarded by June 5 annually, 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.
