Established in 2002 with gifts from the family and friends of Adam Carroll, this scholarship honors the memory of a young man known for his love of people, his zest for life and his love of sports. An honor graduate of Grand Saline High School, Adam was a gifted baseball player, a handsome guy with an infectious smile, and a young man who had big dreams for his life. One of Adam’s favorite sayings was “Always remember who you are, where you come from and what you represent.” Adam Carroll knew who he was, he knew where he came from, both geographically and spiritually, and he knew he represented his family, his school and his Lord. Sadly, Adam left us way too soon due to injuries in an auto accident in 2002. Through the generosity of family and friends, Adam continues to “give back” by helping other GSHS students to further their education through The Adam Carroll Memorial Scholarship which is awarded to a graduating senior of Grand Saline High School who has participated in high school athletics or cheerleading.
Our goal back in 2002 was to raise at least $10,000 for the initial fund set up at ETCF. We have been very pleased with the ETCF management of this fund and with the passing years, we now see the need to increase the fund amount and thereby increase the awarded scholarship amount from $500 to $1,000.
Scholarship recipients are chosen based on their grades and their participation in high school athletics and we want to ensure that the Adam Carroll Scholarship continues to be a coveted award.
