Leo Ethier Scholarship

Leo E. Ethier Memorial Scholarship


Leo Ethier served as Stamford School principal and classroom teacher from 1972 until his passing in 2006. “Mr. E” taught his students, through his own example, that real success and happiness means using your skills and talents to help others especially when it is not expected. He encouraged his students to set goals and strive to attain them, even when it seems impossible.

Leo Ethier Memorial Fund

Beginning on July 1, 2023 the Leo Ethier Memorial Scholarship Fund will be renamed the Leo Ethier Memorial Fund. Our new goal is to support organizations within the Town of Stamford, especially the Stamford School and the Stamford Volunteer Fire Company of which Leo was a member for 32 years, serving as its chief for 4 of those years. He gave greatly of himself to the Town of Stamford for many years.
