2021-2022 Ari’s Bears Scholarship
The Ari’s Bears Collegiate Scholarship was established by Ari’s Bears, a 501(c)(3) organization, to carry on the legacy of its founder, Ariella Stein.
At nine years of age, Ariella Stein knew firsthand how hard a hospital stay could be. Although she herself was undergoing grueling treatments for Ewing’s Sarcoma, Ariella wanted to start a foundation, Ari’s Bears, to bring comfort and joy to other children in the hospital. Her idea was simple: she used her own money to purchase and make stuffed animals that she later delivered to pediatric patients.
When Ariella passed away at age 11 from complications from a bone marrow transplant, she had already delivered “Ari’s Bears” to seven local hospitals and respite houses. Her legacy is still being written; since its inception in 2018, Ari’s Bears has gifted more than 2,000 bears and other stuffed animals to children in hospitals.
Scholarship:
