2025-26 WINNERS - Alayna Stephens & Riley Moore

The A.D. Martens Scholarship in Social Work is specifically designed to empower Christian social work students to pursue their calling and develop the skills needed to impact lives for God's glory.
Our mission is to provide financial support to aspiring social workers. We believe that education should be accessible to all, and we are dedicated to aiding a new generation of compassionate leaders.

This scholarship has been established in honor of our youngest daughter, who was adopted out of foster care, and is awarded in recognition of outstanding academic achievements, dedication to the field of social work, and demonstrated commitment to serving others.
The 2024-25 scholarship winner was a senior social work major at Cedarville University.
This recipient was recognized for her outstanding academic achievements, her dedication to the field of social work, and her demonstrated commitment to serving others to positively impact the lives of individuals, families, and communities for the glory of God.
We were proud to award the winner with a $1,000 check to assist with her educational expenses.
Recipient 1: Alayna Stephens, a junior social work major at Cedarville University.
Alayna was chosen based on her strong academic achievements and demonstrated commitment to serving others in ways that positively impact individuals, families, and communities for the glory of God.
Alayna's application stood out among many qualified candidates when she highlighted the “importance of looking beyond oneself.”
We pray that you will continue to use your passion for His glory and one day hope to see you writing policy for the betterment of those in the foster care and adoption system.
We are honored to award you a $1,000 scholarship to assist with educational expenses and support your continued academic and professional growth.
Recipient 2: Riley Moore, a sophomore social work major at Cedarville University.
Riley was chosen based on her unbreakable spirit and passion for social work, specifically the voiceless and victims of abuse.
We pray that your unbreakable spirit remains and that you will continue to use your passion and experiences for His glory.
We are honored to award you a $1,000 scholarship to assist with educational expenses and support your continued academic and professional growth.
