Dr. Steven A. Hill Memorial Scholarship
“Never Underestimate the Power of ONE!”
The Dr. Steven A. Hill Foundation was created by his family in the wake on his untimely death. Steve had the uncanny ability to connect with many different people of all facets of life. His quick wit and friendly personality will not be soon forgotten by many with whom he associated. In the days following his death, Steve’s family heard hundreds of stories of how he made a difference in the lives of countless people. His family wanted in some way to be able to carry on his legacy and continue to touch and enrich the lives of others. This is how the Dr. Steven A. Hill Foundation was created. One of Steve’s favorite quotes was “never underestimate the power of one.” One person truly can make a difference in the lives of many. Steve was one of those people and we hope to be able to continue to make a difference in the lives of others as we carry on his legacy.
