Reunion Giving

Ethan Roser Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Class of 2020 is giving to the Ethan Roser Memorial Scholarship Fund. This scholarship was created to honor the memory of our beloved classmate, Ethan Roser, who died as a result of a tragic accident while volunteering at a Wheaton track meet. Ethan’s life and faith left a lasting impact on all who knew him. Through giving to this scholarship, we remember Ethan’s passion for evangelism, his investment in the Men’s Soccer team, and his evident love for God.

The scholarship is awarded to undergraduate transfer students studying Biblical and Theological Studies or to students with the intention to enter full-time ministry to carry on the legacy of Ethan’s life.
