The Ethan J. Hazelwood Heart of Gold Memorial Scholarship was established in 2025 by family and friends of Ethan as a lasting tribute to his life and giving spirit.
A student at Churubusco High School, Ethan loved everything related to farming and agricultural. With his dog Knox at his side, Ethan could often be found welding, fishing, splitting wood, riding 4-wheelers, and fixing anything that was broken.
Those who knew Ethan remember him as a kind, creative, and giving person. He was always helping others and once gave the boots on his feet to a fellow student who had none.
Open to individuals in Whitley and Noble County, the scholarship is for high school seniors as well as non-traditional students, who wish to pursue additional education in the field of agriculture or diesel mechanics.
