caitlin edwards memorial scholarship
The Caitlin Edwards Scholarship was established to honor the life of a vibrant and compassionate young woman whose life was tragically cut short due to the pain and suffering of substance use disorder. Caitlin’s family, in partnership with the Keansburg Against Heroin Committee and Hazlet’s Hope Network, created this scholarship to support and uplift young people who have been personally impacted by the disease of addiction.
Each year, the Caitlin Edwards Scholarship recognizes students who exemplifies resilience, strength, and compassion in the face of adversity. These individuals have often experienced addiction within their own families or lives, yet continue to pursue education and personal growth with courage and determination.
This scholarship is not just financial support—it is a tribute to the quiet strength and perseverance of young people navigating the challenges of addiction, and a way to carry Caitlin’s spirit forward in hope and healing.
The award is made possible through the generous contributions of individuals and organizations who believe in the power of second chances, the promise of recovery, and the importance of honoring lives like Caitlin’s.
