Josh Sain Memorial Scholarship Fund


Order of the Arrow Begins Josh Sain Memorial Scholarship Fund

Established in 1982, the E. Urner Goodman Scholarship Fund provided assistance for Arrowmen preparing to enter professional Scouting as a career. A demonstrated commitment to professional Scouting and the successful completion of one year of college where one’s major related to professional Scouting served as criteria for the scholarship.

In 1998, the focus of the fund was broadened to assist more student Arrowmen and was re-named the Josh Sain Memorial Scholarship to honor the spirit and memory of 1997 National Vice Chief Josh Sain after his death in an automobile accident while in office. The last Goodman Scholarships were awarded in 2006.
