On March 16, 2010, we lost a son, brother, and friend when Scott (Richie) passed in a tragic golf course accident. To honor his memory, to embrace his reputation of selflessness, and to continue his love of learning his family and close friends established this scholarship. The Scott Richards Memorial Scholarship was founded to ease the financial burden of college for Belleville high school students.

Scott's scholarship was established by the BTHS School Board in July 2010, and has been awarded every year since to a graduate from each school. Since its inception, the scholarship award has doubled and will  further expand in the 2022-2023 school year to include vocational school student recipients.  

We are proud to say as of today, the Scott Richards Memorial Scholarship remains unchallenged as the highest paid, non-commercial scholarship award in Belleville HS District 201. We are even more proud that Scott's legacy has assisted over 24 Belleville graduates pursue their academic dreams. Our scholarship is funded almost entirely through the proceeds of our annual golf tournament to be held Oct. 2nd, 2022. The success of our tournament is due entirely to the participation and support of our generous players, patrons, and sponsors. We invite you to join our team, and help dedicated Belleville students achieve success!
