Youth Hero Scholarship Application
Our foundation’s mission is to eliminate any impediment blocking those seeking assistance with their recovery journey, to create & support outreach programs that improve the well-being of those in our community, to host events that will help end the stigma, and celebrate that recovery is indeed possible.
Since losing our son, Brian Cody, we’ve learned that everyone knows someone, and a key to success in our mission is to enlist the help of our community’s ‘Youth Heroes’.
So, in December 2019, we created the Youth Hero Scholarship Program and have since awarded over a dozen scholarships to high school seniors across Connecticut - starting in 2023, we also began awarding students in NY/MA/RI!
Brian Cody's Brothers & Sisters Foundation’s Youth Hero Award is given to students across the state of Connecticut who demonstrate courage, resolve, and a willingness to #KeepGoing for a brighter tomorrow. Jonathan & Matt (pictured here) are just two of a dozen amazing students selected by our Foundation's Youth Hero Award Committee. Each student's essay about Substance Use Disorder’s (SUD) impact on families were incredibly moving, their determination to avoid the pitfalls of peer pressure and their courage to step outside the shadows of the stigma while raising awareness are truly inspiring.The entire membership of Brian Cody’s Brothers & Sisters Foundation is extremely proud of all our Youth Hero Award recipients, and we wish them all continued success in their journey!#KeepGoing
We are proud to announce that Registration is now open!
Youth Hero Scholarships are awarded to high school seniors, in good standing, who are willing to help us spread the word, crush the stigma, and raise awareness about the very real dangers of Substance Use Disorder (SUD).
