C.J. & Stephanie Ham Launch Scholarship Fund

Vikings fullback C.J. Ham and his wife Stephanie on Thursday announced the creation of the Ham Family Scholarship Fund.

The endowed scholarship will support students of color near C.J.’s hometown of Duluth, Minnesota, as well as Superior, Wisconsin.

It will be managed by the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation and begin helping students in 2023. The scholarship fund is presented by Essentia Health.

“Our attention and focus has always been on how we can help give kids in the Duluth and surrounding areas the best chance of succeeding in life, and this scholarship fund is going to allow us to help more and more kids every year,” C.J. and Stephanie Ham said in a collective statement. “This has been a goal of ours for some time, and we’re so excited to see it all come together.”
