The Stephanie Marie Burgos Scholarship: August 2008

One of her first plays in elementary school

Canarsie, Brooklyn

Stepho always liked cuddling up with stuffed animals.

Including little Simba doll given to her as a gift.

Smiling and grateful for gifts.

And, always ready to pose with that perfect smile.

WELCOME TO THE S.M.B.S. INC.

This scholarship was created in loving memory of Stephanie Marie Burgos, who was once a student who struggled with numerous life and academic difficulties but managed to maintain her love for the fine arts and communication arts. Although her dreams were never fulfilled as we lost her to a tragic car accident in 2005, her dreams live on through this scholarship and those selected to receive it.

The scholarship was developed the year Stephanie was scheduled to graduate from high school in 2008. The talented young people that have been selected to receive this scholarship continue to live Stephanie's dream.

The scholarship is granted for four years to one new candidate annually; who is a senior in good standing, graduating from a New York City Department of Education High School and entering an accredited four year college, with the condition of maintaining contact with the organization & family on their academic progress yearly.
