Dr. Ronald K. Edwards Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship has been created to honor the memory of Ronald K Edwards Ph.D. a loving husband and father and an inspired and devoted educator who was a long-time LCC faculty member and Department Chair of Accounting and Office Programs.

“I never met him, but I had to come and pay my respects”, said a woman with a slight smile. She went on to explain how she was having problems with her Economics class at LCC when a classmate, Ronda Edwards, suggested she call her dad, Dr. Edwards.
Reluctantly the woman did so and was amazed at the amount of time he spent with her on the phone, listening to her problem and explaining how to work through it over and over and over again until it was clear that she understood it. There were many similar stories told during the days of my dad’s visitation and funeral that I had never heard before. To me, he had always been a great father, but to many others, he was a great man. This was confirmed to me by people I had never even met.

It was because of his commitment to the community college mission that we, as a family, have decided to create the Ronald K. Edwards Memorial Scholarship through the LCC Foundation in his honor.
