Maternity B.V.M. Student Earn Maquire Foundation Scholarships

Maternity B.V.M. eighth graders Dan Price and Matthew Fehrle earned the Maquire Foundation High School Scholarship. In the fall Dan and Matthew will receive $3,000 per year for 4 years at Father Judge High School.

The Maguire Foundation, in partnership with the Faith in the Future Foundation, award scholarships to at least six students in each of the eighteen qualifying Philadelphia-area Catholic high schools. The current program is specific to eighth graders entering the Class of 2020. The scholarship is renewable for each of the four years of high school, given that the Maguire Scholar maintains foundations standards.

“I was pleased to hear about this wonderful opportunity for these two young men and their families. Catholic education is expensive and I know this will be a huge help for these families,” said Mary Zawisza Maternity B.V.M. Principal.

To qualify for the grant the boys had to submit an essay and complete a scholarship criteria about community service. “I am very excited and thankful to be able to help my parents out, because both myself and my brother will be enrolling next year at Father Judge,” said Dan. Matt added by saying,” I am amazed by getting it. This will really help my family because I have 3 brothers, 2 who will be entering Kindergarten next year and my older brother who also attends Father Judge.”
