The Madeira Schools Foundation (MSF) recently named Vivian Momper as the newest recipient of the MSF Ruth Slagle Crawford Scholarship. The Foundation presents the award annually to a Madeira High School (MHS) graduate who is currently enrolled in college and pursuing a degree.

The $5,000 scholarship is named in honor of Madeira Class of 1925 alumnus Ruth Slagle Crawford. She established the scholarship in memory of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.C. Crawford – long-time teachers who placed great value in education. Scholarship applicants must be MHS graduates pursuing a degree at an accredited institution. They must also write an essay which demonstrates how they are succeeding in college through their personal drive and strong work.

Vivian graduated from Madeira in 2025 and attends The Ohio State University. She thanked the MSF saying, “I would like to thank the entire Madeira community for helping shape who I am today! I am so grateful for every opportunity I have come across so far, and I look forward to continuing my academics and professionalism with the help of this incredible Ruth Slagle Crawford scholarship from the Madeira Schools Foundation.”

The Madeira Schools Foundation was founded in 1984 by a group of enthusiastic parents and community members who worked to make the high school’s outdoor track a reality. Today they hold an annual auction, a golf outing, and other events to raise funds that assist the Madeira City School District in achieving its goals for continued quality education. They have provided computer hardware and software, athletic facilities, new high school auditorium seats, a science lab building, sponsored the MHS Day of Service, an alumni fund and much more. Each year they also award upwards of $20,000 to graduating seniors for achievements they accomplished while at Madeira High School.

This is the thirteenth year the Madeira Schools Foundation has awarded the scholarship. For more please see MadeiraSchoolsFoundation.org.
