Stephen L. Baldwin served as the Superintendent of Greenbrier County Schools from 1988-2002. The endowed scholarship fund was established in 2005 by the Greenbrier County Schools Foundation (GCSF) with a gift from Baldwin’s wife, Charlotte. Stephen L. Baldwin Memorial Scholarships are awarded annually to students from Greenbrier East High School and Greenbrier West High School. Since 2006, 111 scholarships have been awarded.
It was through Baldwin’s dedication and vision that the Greenbrier County Schools Foundation was established. This scholarship fund is just one of many meaningful ways that his commitment to education and his impact on the lives of Greenbrier County students will continue for years to come.
