Westfield Youth Sports Inc. recently announced three Westfield High School seniors as the 2025 Tucker Swain Memorial Scholarship recipients.
The scholarship honors the memory of Tucker Swain, a third-grade student at Oak Trace Elementary School who died in 2023 at age 9 after he was struck by a car. The scholarship represents the lasting mark he left on the community with his kindness, intelligence, humor and creativity.
The 2025 recipients are Eliana Hill, Kaleb Francisco and Parker Gibbs. They will each receive a $1,000 scholarship for post-secondary education. Hill will attend the University of Kentucky; Francisco will attend Wabash College; and Gibbs will attend Indiana University Bloomington.
“The committee was so impressed by the outstanding group of applicants this year that three recipients were chosen,” WYSI Vice President of Operations Carolyn West stated. “Their passion and commitment perfectly reflect the values at the heart of Tucker’s legacy. We are honored to work alongside the Swain family to celebrate Tucker’s spirit. Each year, this scholarship reminds us of the incredible impact one young person can have — and helps us support students who reflect the same heart and passion Tucker shared with our community.”
