Katie Montgomery Centorbi Scholarship
Katie Centorbi (Montgomery) was a beloved wife, mother, and daughter who was a source of brightness in her family and community. A proud St. Charles West alumna, Katie carried the values of compassion and generosity with her throughout her life.
She always put others before herself and had a deep passion for children, finding joy in nurturing, teaching, and supporting young people whenever she could. Katie was also known for embracing life’s simple pleasures — she loved spending time outdoors, enjoyed weekly rounds of golf in her adult life, and could often be found playing horseshoes with family and friends.
Katie was taken from the world too soon due to appendiceal cancer, which cut her life short but has not stopped her legacy from living on.
This scholarship seeks to honor the life of Katie Centorbi by supporting students who share her generosity and are pursuing careers in medicine.
Any high school student at St. Charles West High School in Missouri may apply for this scholarship opportunity. However, applicants who have a passion for pursuing the medical field, has been impacted by Appendiceal cancer, or has volunteered in cancer support are encouraged to apply.
