This Memorial Scholarship has been established to honor an outstanding young man, Braxton Wells Kooser. Braxton was a Derby Panther in the second semester of his freshman year when he was tragically killed in a car accident at the age of 14. Along with being a Derby Panther (football player), Braxton was a beloved son, adored brother, faithful Christian, Derby Tiger (baseball), trusted friend, and a Kansas State Wildcat through and through. Braxton’s loyalty to his family, his friends, his faith, his school, and his teammates was unmatched. We want to honor this young man by choosing a recipient who displays some of the same character traits and attributes that Braxton displayed: faith, integrity, dedication, teamwork, commitment, and perseverance.
