Alexander H. Reeder Memorial Fund

The Alexander H. Reeder Memorial Fund awards an annual scholarship to an ROTC cadet in honor of Alexander H. Reeder, who passed away in 2014. The selected recipient will be a cadet who best exemplifies balanced strength in the areas of scholarship, athletics and leadership, and who passionately supports “the team.” These are all characteristics that Alex will be remembered for.
