INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Colts owner & CEO Jim Irsay today announced a $25,000 gift to establish the Edwin Jackson Memorial Scholarship, in honor of the Colts linebacker who lost his life on February 4 in a traffic accident in Indianapolis.
The scholarship, which will be a separate fund within the Indianapolis Colts Foundation, will honor Jackson’s life and legacy and will be awarded annually to a qualified student applicant. The Colts will work with the Jackson family in the upcoming months to establish the scholarship and determine its guidelines.
“Edwin was such a wonderful young man and was beloved by his family and friends across the country, especially by his Colts family here in Indianapolis,” Irsay said.
