About Penn Charter
This fund will honor Colin’s legacy at a school that he loved. The scholarship will be used to help fund the tuition expenses of students who attend Penn Charter but cannot afford the full tuition. A school that has a rich history of socio-economic diversity, Penn Charter is an independent (i.e. non-denominational) Quaker School serving students in 109 different area codes in the Philadelphia area. The school provides tuition aid to approximately 47.6% of its students on a need-based financial aid model. While Penn Charter is a Friends School deep-rooted in Quaker traditions it is not part of a Friends Meeting. Students of many different beliefs make up a student body where every voice is valued. In setting up this scholarship, it is our hope that others with less means be given this same opportunity.
About The Scholarship
The Colin Barnes Still OPC ’08 Scholarship Fund was created by Jill Wilcox Still and Jim Still OPC ’75, their sons Derek OPC ’05 and Ryan OPC ’03, and Colin’s wife, Ericha Lutter Still, to honor their son, brother and husband. Colin was an outstanding scholar-athlete who excelled in the classroom and on the athletic fields. As a leader of his friends and teammates, Colin exhibited a passion and intensity for learning, competition, and respect for others. The Colin Barnes Still OPC '08 Scholarship is intended to reflect the rich heritage of the Penn Charter student-athlete as exemplified by our son, brother, husband, and friend.
