Rick Green Memorial Scholarship

The Rick Green Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Rick Green Sr. who died in July 2021 after a four-month battle with pancreatic cancer. He was a loving husband, loving father of three, and loving grandfather of six.  Not only did he leave a lasting impression on his family and friends, but he was also an avid fan and participant of the athletic community in Brownsburg, Indiana. He served on the Brownsburg Little League Board for 28 years, baseball and softball coach, an IHSAA Official, and Member of the Indiana Officials Association. He loved his work as an architect, which can be seen in the designs of several buildings throughout the Indianapolis, Indiana area. This scholarship is founded to help the next generations of those who create communities.

This scholarship is designed for those who are pursuing an architectural degree. Preference will be given to baseball/ softball players and those attending community college. If you meet any of the requirements, you are encouraged to apply.
