“I am incredibly grateful for the honor of receiving this scholarship because not only has it allowed me to focus on my studies, but it has also showed me the importance of a college education as well as financial literacy. Beyond this scope, I have been impacted by the example of giving back to my community to help other fellow Falcons rise, as we were meant to.”​

“The STAY Scholarship has helped our students' dreams of a college education become a reality! This scholarship award makes a big difference in college decisions because it gives our students the option to choose a school that they may not have otherwise been able to afford! I love that the STA Scholarship is awarded by RHS Alumni; you are giving back to the community where you grew up and you are making a difference in the lives of our students. We are very grateful!”

“With the use of the scholarship I was able to afford to pay for my laptop for school and have a portion of my tuition covered. I really appreciate the financial support that your Foundation gave me since I was struggling financially and working an almost full time job in high school to save for college. So I was actually so surprised and happy when I heard I got the scholarship. I cannot thank your foundation enough for what you did for me and I really appreciate the generosity.”

“Upon receiving the news that I won the STAF Scholarship, my family and I were overwhelmed with joy and made the idea of attending college more in reach and exciting. The scholarship was enough to cover a new saxophone which I will be using in the School of Music at Cal State University Fullerton.”
