The Grayson Moser Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship was established in honor and memory of Grayson Moser in 2023, the year in which he would have graduated from Cleveland High School. Grayson passed away at the age of 16 in 2021 after a two-year courageous battle with brain cancer.
About Grayson
Grayson was an amazing, down-to-earth kid who loved life, school, golf, his friends, family, and Jesus. He was a proud member of the Cleveland Blue Raider Marching Band, and he was friends with everyone from all walks of life. He was an outgoing lefty who was creative, witty, and loved to make people laugh. He loved to listen to all styles of music and was known for wearing his headphones all the time. He also loved to be different and was very confident and comfortable with who he was. He enjoyed playing chess, Scrabble, and other board games. Grayson excelled in math and science and was a deep thinker who could carry on intelligent conversations with his teachers from a young age. He was not a great test-taker, so you could not tell his true academic potential by test scores alone. However, any of his teachers would tell you he was a bright, hard-working student who loved school and loved participating in class discussion.
