The Chad Eric Steller Memorial Scholarship This Scholarship was created in memory of Chad E. Steller, son of Gary Steller. Gary is honored to have served Dearborn Public Schools constructing and renovating educational facilities for nearly 30 years.

This includes William Ford Elementary School, Iris Becker Elementary School and others. Chad began his construction career as part of the team during construction of McCollough – Unis building. Through this scholarship fund, Chad’s family hopes to assist a Dearborn student who has a passion for construction as a career.
