Robert Givens was a student of Ellsworth Community College just a short time but with the help of generous donors a endowed scholarship was named in his honor after he tragically lost his life in a swimming accident in 2021. His wrestling teammates commented that "He was never in a bad mood. You could say anything to him and he’d never give in to you. He was always in a good mood and always moving forward.” Instructors have said that though he was only on campus for a short time, Givens made an impression on everyone he met. He was one of those students that teachers love to have in the classroom. The Robert Givens Endowed Scholarship is intended for men's/women's wrestling and will be chosen by the Athletic Director.
