RISHA Scholarship Committee

Patricia M. Stephens Memorial Scholarship

RISHA has been awarding scholarships to deserving students in the field of communicative disorders since 1996.  In 2003 the RISHA Scholarship was renamed in memory of Patricia Stephens, a speech-language pathologist who served on the RISHA Executive Board for 13 years and lost her long battle with cancer at the age of 52.  A graduate of University of Rhode Island and Worcester State College, Pat worked in the Woonsocket School System, where she was the department head for 15 other SLPs.  She served RISHA as recording secretary, newsletter co-editor, treasurer and continuing education administrator.  Pat was an inspiration to all her colleagues and students and was exemplary as a volunteer.  In honor of Pat, the scholarships are awarded each year to graduate students who show evidence of high academic standing, volunteerism in their community, and qualities that would lead to success in the field of speech-language pathology or audiology.
