Ed Crawford Memorial Scholarship Fund for River Valley Students

Established in 2026 by Carol Crawford, along with family and friends, this endowed scholarship fund honors the life and legacy of educator Ed Crawford. A lifelong champion of students, Ed dedicated more than five decades to education—serving as a teacher, coach, mentor, and administrator at River Valley High School. His passion for learning, leadership, and encouragement left a lasting impact on generations of students and colleagues.

This scholarship fund reflects Ed’s belief in the power of education to open doors and transform lives. The fund supports graduating seniors of River Valley High School who are pursuing higher education at a college, university, or technical institution. Eligible students must demonstrate academic commitment, character, and perseverance, with special consideration given to those facing financial hardship.

Through this fund, Ed Crawford’s legacy lives on in the futures of River Valley students, supporting their dreams just as he supported so many throughout his life.

The fund is open to additional contributions from those who wish to honor Ed’s memory. Gifts of any size can be made to support this fund and help it reach full endowment.
