The Clarke County Education Foundation is honored to announce the establishment of the Keith Wright Memorial Technical Scholarship, created in memory of Keith Allan Wright and his life, legacy, and connection to our community.
Keith was born in Richmond, Virginia, on November 16, 1985. This scholarship was established by those who knew and loved Keith as a meaningful way to keep his memory alive while creating new opportunities for Clarke County students for years to come.
The Keith Wright Memorial Technical Scholarship will support a graduating Clarke County High School student who plans to pursue a technical career or continue their education through a trade school, technical program, certification program, or other qualifying career focused training.
The addition of this scholarship continues the Clarke County Education Foundation’s long tradition of connecting the generosity and stories of our community with opportunities for the next generation. Memorial scholarships provide families and friends with a lasting way to honor someone important to them while directly investing in the future of Clarke County students.
CCEF is grateful to Keith’s family and friends for entrusting the Foundation with this special scholarship and for allowing us to play a role in carrying his memory forward.
