Other ways to support our students
The Byron Womack Scholarship Fund

Byron Womack, son of Willie and Shirley Womack is the youngest of his three siblings. Raised raised in South Windsor, CT, Byron's family instilled in him the importance of being a good person. On a professional and philanthropic level, Byron devoted his life to helping others. He worked closely with student athletes to help maximize their potential both in the classroom and on the playing field.
​
In order to honor the legacy and life work of former Executive Director Byron Womack, STEER has established the Byron Womack Scholarship Fund as a perpetual trust to provide revenue to further support STEER student-athletes in their ongoing educational pursuits. Byron’s mission in life was to benefit others, and these endowed scholarships serve to continue that mission. These scholarships are designed to help select STEER student athletes to offset expenses associated with educational pursuits.
The Jane A. Eck Scholarship Fund
The Jane A. Eck Scholarship Award honors the legacy of Jane A. Eck, an esteemed graduate of the University of Rochester with a degree in Psychology and a trailblazing career in journalism while being dedicated to family and her faith.
​Established in recognition of her remarkable achievements during an era (1954) when the fields of journalism and psychology were predominantly male-dominated, this scholarship aims to empower and support the next generation of female scholars. It is awarded annually to a deserving female STEER High School graduate who aspires to further her education in journalism, psychology, social work, or a related field, embodying Jane's spirit of determination, excellence, and commitment to breaking barriers.​
