The Ethan Noah Scholarship was created to honor the life and legacy of Ethan Noah, a kind and courageous young man who brought light to everyone around him. Known for his compassion, love of anime and video games, and unwavering support for others, Ethan had a rare gift for making people feel seen and safe—even while facing silent struggles of his own. This scholarship is awarded to a student who exemplifies Ethan’s spirit: someone who uplifts others, demonstrates resilience, and leads with heart.
