The Richard D. Simpson Scholarship Fund was founded to honor a man whose life was a testament to the power of education, discipline, and compassion. Richard believed that every child—regardless of background—deserved a chance to succeed. After his passing, his wife and supporters sought to carry forward his mission by creating a fund that would open doors for gifted children facing financial hardship. What began as a tribute to his legacy has become a living movement: one that identifies potential early, supports it with care, and watches it grow. Today, the fund continues to change lives—one student, one opportunity, one future at a time.
Primary and junior high school are where dreams first take root. These formative years shape a child’s confidence, curiosity, and sense of possibility. With the right support and environment, young minds begin to believe in their potential and build the academic and emotional foundation that will carry them through life. That’s why early access to quality education is not just important—it’s essential.
From scholarship recipients thriving in top high schools to alumni giving back to their communities—our & vision is creating a ripple effect of hope and progress.
Financial assistance is just the beginning. We help remove barriers so that students can focus on growth, learning, and becoming their best selves.

High school is a critical foundation. We believe that access to the right environment during these years can shape futures, build confidence, and unlock lifelong success. The results are undeniable when children are in a learning environment that is positive and productive.
Thanks to early scholarship support, many of our students go on to graduate from college—equipped, empowered, and ready to lead. Their journey began with a single opportunity, and their success is a powerful testament to the impact of believing in young potential.
Mona High School is of the focal point of our success. Our scholarship recipients often choose this school as their next step in the journey onto educational greatness. We thank Mona High for nurturing the young minds of today for tomorrow's opportunities.
Behind every student’s success is a dedicated team. From administrators to volunteers, our support staff works tirelessly to ensure each scholarship recipient receives the guidance, care, and encouragement they need to thrive.
Behind every success story is a community. Our board, volunteers, and donors share a commitment to equity, education, and empowering young minds.
We’re not just honoring the past—we’re building a future. With each student we support, the legacy of Richard D. Simpson grows stronger and more impactful.
