The Aurelia Varallo Mariani Scholarship Program

For several years the NCBWL has funded tuition scholarships for deserving young Catholic women in the middle Tennessee area.  The scholarships are named in memory of Aurelia Varallo Mariani, a faithful and loving NCBWL member who graduated from St. Cecilia Academy in 1951.  Her love for her alma mater and for this league continued until her untimely death in 1997.
