St Mary Anne’s Dream Big Scholarship was established in 2017 with a generous $25,000 memorial donation given by the children of Elizabeth and Harold Flood. The fund continues to grow with additional donations from generous parishioners, like you!
Now, five of our high school graduates have received a scholarship to assist them with their education beyond high school. The recipients are Ethan Kyger, Hannah Sadler, Caroline Dorsett, Kayla Lanouette, and now, Benigna.
Contributions to the Dream Big Scholarship are always welcome and can be sent to St. Mary Anne’s Treasurer or donated online at our website.
