Scholarships
Scholarships
The Edgewood Alumni Association has been awarding scholarships to graduating Edgewood seniors since 1992. Over the years, the number of scholarships available has increased thanks to the generous donations from Edgewood Alumni and proceeds from the ongoing sale of our “Once a Warrior Always a Warrior” coffee mugs and other fundraising activities.
Generally speaking, we ask for scholarship donations during the winter/spring months and would like to receive your contributions no later than the end of March so we can know what is available to offer the graduating students as the amounts can vary from year to year.
Alumni Scholarship Fund
Since its inception, our general Alumni Scholarship Fund has distributed more than $48,000 raised through the funds received through general scholarship donations, membership dues, and proceeds from the Coffee Mug and other fundraisers.
You can give any amount, and the donations will be tallied together to award at least three annual $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors. There are no particular area of study requirements, and students can attend a college or trade school.
If you would like to make a donation, you can send a check made payable to the Edgewood Alumni Association (in the memo section please note that it is for the Alumni Scholarship) and mail it to:

Named Scholarship Fund
As of 2025, $60,500 of alumni-designated named scholarship funds have been donated to the Edgewood Alumni Association. These funds have been used by the Alumni Association to award qualifying seniors a variety of scholarships to pursue future education and training opportunities.
If you are interested in setting up your own fund, perhaps to honor a loved one, or to support more specific criteria (i.e., GPA, area of study), then please reach out to our Alumni Board President at edgewoodalumni@buckeyeschools.info to learn how to set up the fund.
