The Judy Hanson Memorial Scholarship was created by those involved in the rich heritage and tradition of Rocky River Soccer. RRSO recognizes both male and female high school senior athletes who have demonstrated a commitment of excellence in academics, athletics and community service. The Judy Hanson Memorial Scholarship seeks to reward students striving to develop their individual talents to further the common good of their team and community. Scholarships are presented each year at the high school’s recognition assembly in May. The scholarship is in honor of Judy Hanson, who along with her husband Clifford gave over thirty-five years of dedicated service to soccer in Rocky River
Applications can be obtained from the RRSO Web site or from the Rocky River High School guidance office.
