The Derek Richardson Memorial Scholarship Fund

Established in 2005 by Kendall and Susan Richardson, this endowed one-time scholarship was created in memorial to their son, Derek Richardson, who died tragically in an auto accident in 2005 while enrolled at the University as a sophomore. This scholarship assists sophomore students who are enrolled in the University ROTC program and not been awarded an Air Force ROTC scholarship.. Recipients must have the attitude, aptitude and character to succeed as an Air Force officer. Recipients selected should reflect the character of Cadet Derek Richardson, succeeding physically, academically, and be more concerned for the well being of others than themselves. Recipients must have a record of public/social service both within and outside the Air Force ROTC program. The Air Force ROTC detachment commander will select the recipients with input from the University ROTC liason officer, ROTC instructors and cadet leadership.
