Somebody Cares About Science - Robert Stockwell Memorial Scholarship
The Robert Stockwell Memorial Scholarship Fund honors the legacy of Robert Stockwell, a dedicated and patient science educator at Learn 4 Life Academy, who believed deeply in the power of education to transform lives.
Robert’s passion for biology, fitness, and exercise physiology reflected his broader belief: that with curiosity, effort, and a willingness to learn, anyone can grow and change the course of their life. He encouraged his students to embrace learning—not just as a path to academic success, but as a tool for personal transformation.
This scholarship supports Learn 4 Life students who share Robert’s drive to grow through education. Whether pursuing a college degree in the sciences or entering a science-based trade program—such as plumbing, electrical work, or other technical fields grounded in scientific knowledge—applicants should demonstrate a commitment to continued learning and self-development.
Any student within the Learn 4 Life network who plans to continue their education in a science-related field or trade is eligible to apply.
