On May 29, 2024, at age 24, Payton suffered a heat stroke and went into acute cardiac arrest while on his job site. This scholarship has been created to keep the memory of Payton S. Osborn alive and honor him by supporting students that follow in his footsteps. Too often, students who are interested in vocational fields are met with little support. With very few scholarships offered for paths in the trades, it can be difficult for students to come up with the financial resources they need to embark on their career goals and with this scholarship we hope to help get those students off to a better start.
