The Dwyer Family
The Be A Good Human Scholarship was established in 2026 by The Dwyer Family, whose son Stephen was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 16. Like so many families, the Dwyers know firsthand the weight of diagnosis. The fear, disruption, the courage it takes to keep moving forward.
Out of that experience came a desire to do something lasting: to lift other families who are walking a similar road. By funding educational opportunities for survivors and their loved ones, The Dwyer Family hopes to turn hardship into hope and remind every applicant that their future is worth investing in.
Kylie “Flo” Rodgers
Kylie Rodgers was a softball pitcher, psychology student, a fiercely loyal friend, and one of the most intentional humans the people who knew her had ever met. She carried an extraordinary gift for making others feel seen and valued.
In 2017, Kylie was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. Over the five years that followed, she never stopped pouring herself into the things she believed in, including Lighthouse For Hope, whose mission she fiercely championed. Kylie passed away in 2021 at the age of 20, leaving behind a community forever changed by her warmth and example to always be a good human.
