The Carl Valentino Greaux Memorial Leadership Scholarship

Carl Valentino Greaux was a proud graduate of Saddle River Day School, where he attended on a basketball scholarship—an opportunity he often said changed his life for the better.

Saddle River Day gave Carl more than an education. It gave him confidence, direction, discipline, and a foundation for leadership. His jersey still hangs in the school gym as a lasting symbol of his dedication, perseverance, and impact on the community.

The Carl Valentino Greaux Memorial Leadership Scholarship was created to continue that legacy by opening doors for another student—just as doors were once opened for him. Details and application information are listed below.
