Our story

Nigel Gordon will always be remembered as a man of strength, kindness, humility, and generosity. He believed deeply in the power of education and was passionate about helping others achieve their goals. His encouragement often gave people the courage to keep striving, even when life felt overwhelming, and his sense of humor had a way of bringing light even in difficult moments. Nigel’s humility and compassion made him stand out. He never sought the spotlight, but instead quietly supported and uplifted others. At the same time, his humor and joyful spirit brought comfort and laughter when it was needed most. Education was especially important to him; he saw it not just as a path to personal success but as a way to uplift families and communities. His legacy is rooted in his commitment to supporting others. Whether through words of encouragement, acts of service, or simply being present, he lived a life of impact. His belief that every student deserves the chance to reach their full potential continues to shine through this scholarship. Nigel lived with integrity, humility, humor, and purpose. He was a devoted husband, father, and friend who gave freely of himself. He worked hard, loved deeply, and inspired others to pursue their dreams. This scholarship is one way his values will live on by supporting students who, like him, believe in perseverance, hope, and the life-changing power of education.

Our goal

I am starting this fund in loving memory of my husband, Nigel Gordon. Nigel believed strongly in the power of education and was passionate about helping students reach their goals. He often encouraged others to pursue their dreams and never give up, no matter the obstacles they faced. After his passing, I wanted to honor his life and legacy in a way that reflects his values. This fund is dedicated to supporting students who have lost a parent or spouse and are pursuing a bachelor’s degree while facing financial hardship. I know from personal experience how overwhelming grief and financial struggles can be, and I want this scholarship to ease some of that burden while reminding students that they are not alone in their journey. My goal with this fund is to carry forward Nigel’s spirit of compassion, support, and encouragement. By investing in the education of resilient students, this scholarship will not only honor his memory but also help shape future leaders who will continue to make a positive impact in the world.
