Mattie J.T. Stepanek – “Reflections of a Peacemaker” Scholarship. Amount $200.00.
Mattie J.T. Stepanek was a poet, a peacemaker, and philosopher – all by the age of 13.He
was born with a rare and fatal neuromuscular disease, which crippled his body, but
amazingly not his spirit. More than anything he wanted to contribute to peace. He went on
(before his death) to co-write a book with ex-president Jimmy Carter entitled “Just Peace
a Message of Hope.” His many poems about love, life, peace, and dreams are published in
the Heartsongs collection of books. Mattie’s “Journey Through Heartsongs” made the
New York Times Best Selling List. In People Magazine (December 2004), Mattie is
honored and remembered (page 190) along with Tony Randall, Jack Parr, Bob Keeshan,
(Captain Kangaroo), Ann Miller and Geoffrey Beene; amazing company for such a young
boy. Mattie had made a video time capsule with some other teens who have/had muscular
dystrophy. Mattie’s capsule said – “What matters most to me is that I wake up each day
and take a breath. I appreciate watching the sun rise and set, knowing that they are gifts,
not things to be assumed.”
Criteria: This scholarship is open to all graduating seniors attending Hicksville High
School.
1. Write a 200 word biography about Mattie J.T. Stepanek
2. Write a poem or a 500+ word essay about one of the following thoughts:
a. “Let Peace Begin With Me…”
b. “There are those whose lives affect all others around them, quietly touching
one heart who in turn touches another reaching out to ends further than they
would ever know.”
c. “Remember to play after every storm.”

Fernando Bengoechea – Photography/Art Scholarship – We are all connected.
Amount $200.00. Fernando Bengoechea was an Argentine born photographer and artist.
His work has appeared in Vogue, Elle Decore, Town and Country, and the Oprah
magazines. At the young age of 39, he was killed in the 2004 Tsunami while vacationing
in Sri Lanka. According to his friends and colleagues he was adventurous, exuberant, and
deeply intuitive with a zest for life. I did not know Fernando Bengoechea personally, but
his story and his art continue to have a presence in my life. He not only put a face and
story to the thousands of victims lost and left homeless in the wake of the Tsunami, but
the importance of living in the moment. How small the world really is and that our
greatest resource is each other.
Criteria: This scholarship is open to all graduating seniors attending Hicksville High
School.
1. Photograph, draw, or paint a picture or subject, which potentially could affect another
person here or around the world. Title it, “We Are All Connected.”
2. Explain the story of your picture in a poem or 500+ word essay and the inspiration
behind it.
