Jordan McFaull passed away suddenly in 2015 due to complications of Type 1 diabetes. He was an all-star athlete, excellent student, persuasive orator, outstanding writer, charismatic leader, compassionate friend, and loving son. Those who knew him say he refused to allow diabetes to define his life and his enthusiasm for every endeavor he assumed was infectious and inspired those with whom he worked with the same fervor. After graduating from Tulane University with a B.A. degree, Jordan attended Loyola College of Law.

Friends of Jordan established the scholarship in 2016. The fund aims to help students who excel in fields that Jordan was passionate about: community service, academic excellence, and extra-curricular activities. Jordan played varsity football, founded and served as president of the Junior Statesmen Chapter, and was a Governor's Scholar. Each year, one $2,000 scholarship is awarded to a Beechwood Independent Schools senior student planning to attend a four-year college or university. Applicants must also have a minimum GPA of 3.0, participate in at least one Beechwood High School extracurricular activity, and have a strong record of volunteer work within the community.
