The James Lockwood Scholarship
The James Lockwood Scholarship was established at the wishes of James Lockwood, who was killed by a drunk driver in a traffic accident just days before deploying for service in Iraq. The scholarship is designed to award an individual who has been a member of the Fairmont Track & Field program, and has exhibited significant love and spirit for this program while not necessarily being a stand out athlete. The James Lockwood Scholarship is a one time scholarship award of $1,500.

About James Lockwood
The measure of a man - James Lockwood impacted many in his too-short life

Medals and titles aren't the only way to measure success. What about the people who simply live good, productive lives? Who become great parents, loyal soldiers, dedicated workers, good neighbors and devoted friends?
I've been thinking about this alot lately - ever since the night of September 23, when I learned of the sudden death of a former student. James Lockwood, 2002 Fairmont grad, was only 23 when he was killed by a drunk driver Sept. 21 in Tennessee. A U.S. Army Specialist, James was five days from deploying to Iraq when the accident happened.
James left directions to give $50,000 to Fairmont to establish a fund to provide an annual $1,500 scholarship to a track athlete who wants to go to college but isn't likely to earn either an athletic or academic scholarship. Read the entire article
