The Stratford-based Vicki Soto Memorial Scholarship is a four year renewable scholarship for $12,000. A scholarship committee selects four recipients every year. The first two scholarship are to our local high schools in Stratford. In addition, we have expanded The Vicki Soto Memorial Scholarship to be awarded state-wide and nationally as well. One recipient from the state of Connecticut and one recipient from around the country will receive a renewable scholarship for $12,000. All recipients of the scholarship must be pursuing a college degree at an accredited university in the field of education and demonstrate excellence in academics, extracurricular activities and leadership skills.
