In the Fall of 2012, the President’s Child Advocacy Fund was renamed in memory of long time child advocate W. Stephen Pullen. This fund provides scholarship money for a youth to attend an institute of higher learning, trade, or vocational program. The youth must show a financial need. Funds will be paid directly to the institute/program, not to the youth. |
