Who is Stephen Anthony Edwards, and why would he be an excellent selection as a student at RIT?
Stephen stands out as a self-motivated, logical thinker, who is fascinated by probability and statistics, and exhibits innovative ways of thinking, all of which facilitate his love for playing and creating games. These most notable characteristics have been evident almost from birth, but have been shaped and refined through his unique life experiences, such as being homeschooled, living on an island, and traveling.

After graduation, he embarked to New Zealand for a Discipleship Training School (DTS) through Youth With a Mission (YWAM), with a focus on worship and music. He is concurrently attending Volunteer State Community College (where he was also on the dean’s list) in the pursuit of certification as a Physical Therapist Assistant, and taking an intensive Bible Core class with YWAM, as part of the secondary school for the University of the Nations.

Since he was young, Philip has always wanted to build and put things together. We were able to give him real-life experience as he assisted in deconstructing and rebuilding our pool deck.

Undoubtedly he stands to be an asset to any student body, with his love for learning, creativity, analytical, logical, and strategic thinking; problem-solving abilities, persistence, and ability to interact well with others. We hope you see his potential, and give him the opportunity to excel as a student at
