February Meeting

The current NCBWL scholarship recipients, their guests and school administrators from Father Ryan, Pope John Paull II and St. Cecilia high schools will attend to receive their annual scholarships and address the membership. Don't miss this opportunity to meet our new recipients!

The scholarships, which are a centerpiece work for the league, were established 22 years ago. They are named for 1951 SCA graduate Aurelia Varallo Mariani who died in 1998. The League set up a memorial scholarship fund in her honor to support a deserving and financially needy student at St. Cecilia through all four years of her high school education. Since then, the scholarships have expanded to include one female Father Ryan student and one female student at JPII.

The scholarships are funded by the annual luncheon, auction and fashion show. Thanks to several years of successful Pearls of Wisdom luncheon and auctions, the league has granted $12,000 scholarships to help fund the Catholic education of three local high school girls -- one at each Catholic high school in the diocese.
