Mary P. Perlea Scholarship Fund

Mary P. Perlea was a beloved mother and a strong advocate of the importance of education. 

Mary received her master’s degree in engineering in Romania and believed that higher education is the most important experience in one’s life. Mary would have wanted to leave behind a legacy of helping young students access higher education.

This scholarship seeks to honor Mary P. Perlea’s legacy by supporting underrepresented or disadvantaged students so they can reach their full potential.

Any undergraduate student who is part of an underrepresented or otherwise disadvantaged community, such as BIPOC students, LGBTQ+ students, single moms, etc., may apply for this scholarship, but students pursuing STEM are preferred. 

To apply, tell us about the challenges you have overcome in life and how you hope to use your education to help other underserved or underrepresented students.
