The Nan Stanford scholarship was established to honor the life and memory of Nan Stanford.
Nan worked for the city of Saginaw for over forty years and served the last seventeen as City Manager. Nan loved her community and made a difference through her commitment to serving others. She encouraged everyone to help those in need and strived to make her community better. When Nan was diagnosed with cancer in 2009, she continued to work because she had a purpose and loved the people of the City of Saginaw. She lead with integrity, honesty and joy.
Nan loved the Lord, her family, and her work up to her passing in 2022. Nan took great pride in her work, but she loved her family the most.
Nan had a positive and joyful outlook on life. On bad days, she leaned hard into her faith. She fought breast cancer for thirteen years and left us with a legacy of commitment, love, joy, and helping others in need.
This scholarship looks to support an individual who shows commitment to their family and community while enduring the hardships of cancer.

I am extremely grateful for this opportunity. Receiving the Angela Stanford scholarship truly is an answer to my prayers. This scholarship will allow me to fulfill my dream of attending Dallas Baptist university and pursuing a degree in elementary education. This scholarship will give me the opportunity to teach and love children and help them reach their full potential everyday. This scholarship has truly been such a blessing to me and it will help lessen the financial burden on me and my family.


For the longest time I dreamt of becoming a doctor or going into the medical field. After my mom got sick, I felt helpless when it came to making her better. Going into the medical field became much more of a goal rather than a dream for me. Even though I knew I couldn’t help my mom by the time I became a doctor, I could help other daughters like me, from having to go through life without their moms, and the Angela Stanford Scholarship is making this goal possible and is allowing me to pursue exactly what I want.

Receiving this scholarships means so much to me, and allows me to complete my bachelors degree with less stress about money. The Angela Stanford Foundation Scholarship encourages me to continue working hard to finish my degree and give back to children in similar situations like mine once I am a Child Life Specialist.




Receiving this scholarship means so much because it gives me the opportunity to continue my life and make a career out of something I love to do. Being able to be given this scholarship means that my struggles and hardships meant something and that I can more forward with my life because I am a survivor and will always be one. I am so blessed to be alive but also blessed to be able to be one of the individuals awarded this scholarship when so many should be in the same position I am in now but unfortunately God has different plans for us. Thank you for choosing me for the Angela Stanford Foundation Scholarship

during a challenging time. I’m so thankful to be a recipient of this scholarship!
