Susie Stephens, the first director of the Alliance for Biking & Walking, was known throughout the bicycle and pedestrian advocacy world for her joy and enthusiasm. In 2002, while preparing to lead a pedestrian safety training, Susie was killed by a bus in a crosswalk.

To honor her legacy, Susie's family now supports scholarships to help bicycle & pedestrian advocates attend Alliance trainings.

This year, the Alliance is offering two full Susie Stephens scholarships and ten partial scholarships to the Leadership Retreat. In addition, the two leaders who receive full Susie Stephens scholarships to the Retreat will also receive full scholarships to registration at the Pro Walk Pro Bike Pro Place Conference.

A limited amount of funding will also be awarded on a rolling basis to eligible applicants from regions served by Kaiser Permanente.

Apply for a Susie Stephens scholarship here.

In your application, be prepared to answer the following questions:

• How would you benefit from receiving this scholarship assistance?
• What measurable outcomes will you and your organization receive from attending?

Scholarship applicants must be staff or board members at a current Alliance for Biking & Walking member organization. Scholarship applications are due by midnight on Friday, May 16. All applicants will be notified of their award status by Friday, May 30.
