Information

This scholarship fund was created in loving memory of Stephanie Joseph, who was an inspiration to many and who will remain in our hearts forever. Each recipient of this scholarship will be awarded funds to pursue academic ambitions with the courage, passion, valor, and strength that Stephanie showed while faced with overwhelming adversity. The individual must plan to attend college and continue academic pursuits in the face of hardship and adversity. The hardship may be on a personal level or within their immediate family.

The number and amount of awards depends on available funds. In 2024 we plan to award two or more scholarships of $3,000 each. Scholarships will be awarded entirely at the discretion of Stephanie Joseph Memorial Fund, Inc., and disbursed in person at the annual awards ceremony, which is typically in May of each year, taking place at a restaurant in the western suburbs of Chicago, IL.
