Alan B. Carr Memorial Scholarship

The Cowanesque Valley Class of 1984, together with the family and friends of Alan B. Carr, established this memorial scholarship fund to remember Alan, a son, brother, nephew, cousin, classmate and friend. Alan tragically lost his life in March of 1984 a few months before graduating from high school. Alan was an Eagle Scout and an athlete; he held a love for cars, racing, hunting and the great outdoors. His plans had been to continue his education seeking a degree in electronics technology. More than 30 years later, Alan is remembered and his legacy continues forever through this scholarship
