Champion A Scholar
When you champion a Scholar, you make one student’s ten-year journey to a college commencement day possible. In return, you’ll forge a personal connection with an impressive young person who has traveled far with Steppingstone. Champion A Scholar is our way of bringing donors like you closer to the students we serve.
