The Dr.Emmary Butler Endowed Scholarship at XULA
This year I’ve been keeping a little secret =) As I looked for ways to take my foundation to another level, a strong message came to my mind and heart. “Endow a scholarship at your beloved Xavier” it said “It will last forever and provide scholarships for students in need” it said. As a result, I’ve been working with the university to endow the Dr. Emmary Butler scholarship at XULA. The endowment is $25,000. Once established it will provide an annual $2,000 scholarship for a Pre-Med student from Fort Wayne that is in good standing with the university. My goal is to keep a steady stream of Fort Wayne students in the university.
Here’s where you come in…. =)
From October 10 (my Birthday) until October 15 (the foundation’s 2nd year anniversary), I will personally match half of the donations made to benefit the endowment of the scholarship!! Click the donate button below to give TODAY!!!
