About the Ridgefield Legacy Awards

The Ridgefield Old Timers Association (ROTA) honors Ridgefield athletes and members of the community with the Ridgefield Legacy Awards while giving scholarships to scholar-athletes of the present.

Since its founding over 35 years ago, ROTA has recognized dozens of dedicated citizens for preserving Ridgefield’s heritage and culture with legacy awards. The organization has also awarded thousands of dollars in college scholarships to outstanding RHS scholar-athletes.

Each year, four-year scholarships of $1000 per year are awarded to a male and a female RHS senior. Students must demonstrate excellence in academics as well as athletic proficiency and community service. In addition, a one-year scholarship is awarded to one or more deserving students/athletes.
