DEADLINE 2/28/2025
Ryker Milton Foundation Scholarship
Ryker Milton was an amazing son, brother, friend, athlete, and most importantly, man of God. His life was filled with constant smiles, and he made sure that others smiled more than he did. Ryker attended Hilldale High School and afterward was working at New Community Church, following his calling in ministry. The purpose of this scholarship is to continue Ryker’s legacy and to encourage others to follow his example by living a life that glorifies God and glorifies others. He leaves a legacy of putting others before yourself, loving your family and friends, giving everything you have in everything you do, staying ready for anything life throws at you, and living a life serving God and trusting His plan. Ryker was so much to so many and still continues to impact people today. Stay Ready.
