Stevie Kirton Memorial Scholarship
Stevie Kirton was a beloved father who sadly passed away after a motorcycle accident, leaving his three young children without their father.
The death of a parent takes a drastic toll on young individuals, leading to trauma and sadness that can follow them throughout the rest of their lives. Important milestone events such as birthdays, graduation, or weddings can be hard on families as they deeply feel the absence of their loved ones.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Stevie Kirton by supporting students who have lost a parent.
Any high school senior who has lost a parent and has at least a 3.5 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us how losing one of your parents has affected you personally, academically, and financially.
Please share how the loss of your parent has impacted you personally, academically, and financially.
