Stephen R. Bogusky III ’18 Scholarship
On August 12, 2018, our community lost a wonderful young man, Stephen R. Bogusky III '18. Since then, family and friends have found ways to honor Stephen's memory and heal from this tragic loss. The Stephen Robert Bogusky III '18 Scholarship was established in September 2019 to honor Stephen’s legacy of servant leadership, academic excellence, sportsmanship and athleticism.
More than 300 generous donors have contributed over $100,000 to The Stephen Robert Bogusky III '18 Scholarship.
The outpouring of reflections and sentiment in memory of Stephen has been extraordinary. We are humbled to share that an anonymous donor has stepped forward today with a remarkable opportunity to grow Stephen’s scholarship fund even more.
The Stephen Robert Bogusky III ’18 Scholarship
The Stephen Robert Bogusky III ’18 Scholarship aims to honor Stephen’s legacy of servant leadership, academic excellence, sportsmanship and athleticism. The scholarship will provide financial assistance to Upper School student-athletes who participate in the soccer or lacrosse programs at Friends School and who are affiliated with the Charm City Youth Lacrosse program or a similar, mission-driven program.

Honoring Stephen’s Legacy
Reflections from Matt Micciche, Head of School:
Stephen was a wonderful young man whom we were lucky enough to have as part of our community since 2006. In addition to being a standout soccer and lacrosse player, whose speed and quickness made him a constant scoring threat, he was a very capable student, and a thoughtful and supportive community member. With his quiet humor, his subtle smile, and his understated demeanor, he earned the respect and friendship of his classmates and teammates, who, I know, will carry him in their hearts forever.
Reflections from Steve McManus, Upper School Principal:
When Stephen befriended you, it was a bond for life. His circle of loyal and close friends extends into many peer groups at multiple schools and spans over a decade from his early days in LTRC rec league sports all the way through his high school years at Friends. Watching Stephen and his “band of brothers”, which included my own son, grow up together over the years has been one of the greatest joys of my professional life as a high school principal and a father.
