The Therese Stegner (Piper) Memorial Scholarship was established in 2022 to honor the memory of Therese Stegner (Piper). Therese's life was centered on helping the people around her. Therese spent her career as a social worker, where she constantly went above and beyond for all her clients. Therese also spent her time helping within her church, community, and family.
