Joshua Michael Liu Memorial Scholarship
CELEBRATING THE SANCTITY OF LIFE
Joshua Michael Liu was a child born with an anencephalic birth defect, which would be fatal shortly after his birth. However, because his parents cherished the value of all human life, no matter how brief that life is, they chose to honor him with the legacy of awarding an annual scholarship in his name to a student who also cherishes and values human life.
Thanks to our generous donors, Next Step is honored to present the Joshua Michael Liu Memorial Scholarship to local high school seniors.
For over 30 years, Next Step has empowered women to make confident and healthy life choices. This includes providing support to those who are facing unexpected pregnancies. This $500 scholarship underscores our passion to give back to the community and foster the value of a mother and child's lives to the next generation of young adults.
