Overview

Shady Spring High School Junior, Grandview Christian Church Sunday school teacher, basketball and soccer athlete, daughter, sister and friend—all these words described Brooklyn Nicole Runion. But, she was more. A smiling countenance and a hand extended in friendship to those feeling alone. She willingly shared her gift of laughter and a tender heart of compassion as she worked at helping those in need.
Her family, friends and community were devastated by her sudden death in 2016. They joined together to establish a scholarship honoring her life, her impact and her memory. Recognizing her love for children and dream to become a kindergarten teacher, the Brooklyn Nicole Runion Scholarship Fund will provide scholarship assistance to a Shady Spring High School graduating senior. Primary criterion is for someone pursuing a child centered career. However, in any given year where there are no applicants pursuing this field, the award is to be made to an individual with identified need and merit.

Eligibility
  • Graduating senior of Shady Spring High School
  • Based upon both need and merit.
  • Field of study limited to education field with a preference for early childhood or elementary education. If, there are no qualifying applicants, middle or high school teach field will become eligible.
