Congratulations to Our Newest Winners!

Please welcome the newest A Stepping Stone Foundation scholars!

Each year, we invite former preschoolers who were in one of our Stepping Stone-funded LEAF programs for six months or more to apply for the Billie Gannaway Memorial Scholarship.  Over the years, two additional scholarship offerings have been added; Ivey Stepping Higher and the William O. Smith awards.

Below is a list of the most recent class of award winners. This year we awarded more than $44,000 to 37 deserving students. Many thanks to the Scholarship Team who reads, scores and awards each entry with loving consideration: Patricia Davis, M. Laida Restrepo (Co-Chairs); Judy Brengi, Lenay Dunn, Sue Yale and Gabriel Escontrias with Cindy Gattorna (voice but no vote ex-oficio).
