Caitlyn Stratman
2012
“My name is Caitlyn Stratman and I was the 2012 Henderson High School recipient of the Stephen Chandler Ericson Foundation scholarship. This scholarship assisted me in paying for my first year of college at Duquesne University (Pittsburgh, PA) where I studied music education. I am currently in my first year teaching music to nearly 800 students in grades K-6! Although I did not know Stephen, I feel so honored and humbled to have received a scholarship that embodies his spirit. When I read about Stephen it became very clear to me that he demonstrated remarkable character, love, and understanding. Stephen’s legacy serves as an inspiration for me to hug my loved ones a little closer, to search for the good in people, to strengthen my relationship with God, and to count my blessings. I am sincerely grateful to have been honored with this generous scholarship in memory of such an amazing person. Thank you!”
