Support the Drew Cousins Memorial Football Scholarship

This fund was started in May of 2005 by Sue and Jeff Cousins in memory of the sudden passing of their late son Drew. The established purpose of the fund is to provide annual scholarships to graduating MHS Senior Boys' Football players who have played high school football at MHS and who will be attending college.

Established in 2004 by his family in loving memory of their son and brother, the Drew M. Cousins Memorial Scholarship is intended to help deserving young men at Morton High School continue the pursuit of football. The scholarship has been in the amount of $2500 and it is the family’s intention to endow the fund for at least that amount.

Born in Sterling, IL, and raised in Pekin, IL, Drew moved to Northern Oaks Lake in Groveland, IL, in 1994 and attended Morton Junior High school as well as Morton High School.

His interests had always included sports starting with Union Mission baseball at age four, basketball and track. He was encouraged to go out for football during his freshman year at Morton by Coach Hal Chiodo. He played on the offensive and defensive line throughout the rest of his high school career. The friends he made at Morton and the athletic discipline he developed served him throughout his academic career and remain a fond memory for family and friends.
