Erika Cox Memorial Scholarship Fund
To honor the memory of a bright light in so many lives, the Erika Lynn Cox Memorial Scholarship aims to continue her legacy of loving Christ and others through her constant commitment to serving others with a kind and generous heart.
Erika Cox’s life was taken too soon on November 27th, 2023. Even after her passing, her memory and love have continued to impact the lives of children and adults from the tri state region due to her ability to build relationships and show empathy for others. This led to her being a continued support system for friends, family members, and community acquaintances, especially through her service to her church family.
This scholarship is a testament to the importance of community service and the impact that it can have on a community. Erika changed the lives of so many due to her contribution to youth sports, church activities, and various other service experiences.
This scholarship is meant for a high school student with a heart for community service who seek opportunities to contribute to the well being of others.
