"I encourage young people to strive for leadership and excellence knowing that success will come naturally with time." Rob Knapp

Fullfillment, unlike success, is largely defined by internal measures, by how we feel about what we are doing or have done. Dr. Victor Frank, Man’€™s Search For Meaning

The Knapp family have long been advocates of empowering individuals so they can reach their full potential. Their scholarship and internship programs give young adults the head start to become servant leaders in their communities.

The Knapp Family Foundation’€™s primary purpose is to assist disadvantaged, diverse youths in choosing growth over fear as they pursue a college education, internship, and employment. It is our hope to create servant leaders whose core values include family, personal faith, integrity, character, health, optimism, and respect for others. We look for candidates who are willing to pursue excellence in business and in life with the ultimate purpose of service to others.

Leaders are learning that the empowerment servant leadership€™ represents is one of the key principles that will be the deciding point between an organization’s enduring success or its eventual extinction – Steven Covey

Pfeiffer University in partnership with the Knapp Family Foundation provides a unique experience for deserving diverse high school seniors anticipating an academic major in business.

In conjunction with the scholarship the Knapp Family Foundation offers a summer internship at the local Merrill Lynch office. For more information contact the admissions department at Pfeiffer University.

Wake Forest University in partnership with the Knapp Family Foundation will award
