The Scholarship Award Program
Applications for the 2009-2010 Academic Year are now closed. Applications for the 2010-2011 Academic Year will be available in the Fall 2009.
The Stephanie Brown Cadet Memorial Foundation Scholarship awards $1,000 each year (renewable for up to four years) to students that are exemplary in volunteering time in community service.
The size of the Scholarship Award is intended to provide a portion of the resources necessary to meet the expense of a college education; yet be substantial enough to help create an incentive for students to make the conscious decision to donate their time.

About the Foundation
The Stephanie Brown Cadet Memorial Foundation was created by Stephanie's family and friends following her untimely passing from a heart condition in July 2005. Stephanie was a delightful and devoted mother of two, an accomplished software sales executive, and a committed volunteer. Stephanie strongly believed in the virtue of volunteering to serve her communities and fellow citizens. In addition to the volunteer work that she performed, Stephanie had plans to establish funds and community services to enhance and enrich others and to help ensure a more fair and equitable society.
