Annually beginning in 2003 Stephen’s Fund has given monetary awards to graduating high school senior who is a resident of Garden City, NY. Our premier award, The Stephen K. Tompsett Award for Excellence in Math, Science or Technology ($1500 each) has been granted every year to one Garden City High School senior and one senior graduating from a private school. Beginning with one award in 2003, we expanded over the years to include additional awards for Leadership, Information Technology, Business, Christian Values, Community Service and Achievement. These additional awards were granted on a case-by-case basis by the Trustees, and range from $750-$1000.
In addition, beginning in 2010, Stephen’s Fund has granted a monetary award of $1500 to a graduating senior from Our Lady of Mercy Academy. The Stephen K. Tompsett Award for Overall Excellence has been granted to a young woman who exhibits Stephen’s qualities of Kindness, Compassion, Leadership, dedication to Family & Faith, and Academic Effort. The winner has been chosen by the Administration of OLMA.
In November 2011 the Trustees awarded the first Stephen K. Tompsett Memorial Scholarship ($1500) granted to a State University of NY student who has been accepted into the Student Teach in Australia Program and who exhibits Stephen’s qualities of Integrity, Teamwork, Excellence, Leadership, Love of Learning and the desire to Make a Difference.
Every year since 2003, Stephen’s Fund has granted monetary awards to graduating 8th graders from St. Joseph’s School in Garden City. Our premier award is The Stephen K. Tompsett Citizenship and Character Award ($150). Additional awards granted on a case-by-case basis include, Leadership, Christian Values, and Community Service. These awards range from $25-$100. Applicants do not have to reside in Garden City.
