SHS Student Memorial Scholarship

Donation protected
Hello,

The City of Stamford was devastated by the tragic passing of Karina Tinajero.  The students, staff, and community of Stamford High School (Stamford, CT) are grieving and would like to institute a memorial fund in the form of a scholarship in honor of her memory.

Karina was a senior at SHS.  She was a hardworking, amazing young woman who had much to offer the world.  Karina took great pride in her work and studies and was a straight A student.  She received several awards from the school for her focus on academics as well as contributing to the greater community of learners by supporting and helping other students.  She was a role model, a leader, a friend and on her way to college destined for greatness.

This past weekend Karina was struck and killed as she crossed the street in front of Stamford High School as she walked to take her Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) continuing her quest to go to college.

Funds raised through this account will become the foundation of the Karina Tinajero Memorial Scholarship. A yearly award will be presented to a high-performing senior in the English Learner program who will attend college.

We are looking to raise these funds over the next two months. Please help us to honor the memory of this wonderful young lady through the establishment of this scholarship fund. Your contributions are greatly appreciated, and will benefit students for years to come!  

Thank you,
SHS Black Knight Family
