Deborah's Grace Scholarship
A few years ago, a kind and selfless soul in Deborah Doherty was lost. Throughout her lifetime, she wanted everyone around her to be happy and tried to bring a smile to the faces of those in her life.
In Deborah's honor and to help people achieve their goals in and out of the classroom, the Deborah's Grace Scholarship will support all high school seniors and current undergraduate students who have gone through and overcome some form of adversity.
To apply, please write about an example of adversity you’ve endured, how you’ve overcome it, and how your resilience will help you overcome more adversity in the future.
What is an example of adversity that you've endured, how have you overcome it, and how will your resilience help you in the future?

If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
