For Samantha

04/16/2026

Congratulations to our 2026 For Samantha Scholarship winners! Today, on Samantha's birthday, we notified all thirteen winners. YES, THIRTEEN! The most scholarships we have granted so far. This year we, once again, asked students to perform an act of kindness and document their experience. Our submissions included videos, artwork and essays. Last Saturday, the Scholarship Team reviewed, scored, discussed and selected the final recipients. It is very difficult to choose, so we rely on those that most remind us of our Samantha's beautiful spirit. The submissions were amazing and so heartwarming. THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR WONDERFUL APPLICANTS, and thank you for spreading Samantha's name in kindness. 💜🦋💜 Please help the For Samantha Foundation in CONGRATULATING our 2026 scholarship winners!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAMANTHA!!!
