The Drs. John J. and Margaret T.
Clark Memorial Scholarship
Dr. John J. and Dr. Margaret T. Clark were dedicated members of Saint Mary Magdalen Parish. As life-long educators, the Clarks directed that a gift be made through their estate to endow scholarships for students who are members of Saint Mary Magdalen parish toward their post-secondary education.
The Clark Memorial Scholarship was established in 2024 and its first recipient
Connor Victoria was announced in May of 2024.
Annually, one eligible student is selected by the Saint Mary Magdalen Scholarship Committee to receive a scholarship toward the first two (2) years of undergraduate tuition for their chosen college, university, or trade school. The scholarship amount is $5,000 annually for up to two years.
Eligible students must be active Saint Mary Magdalen parish members and current high school seniors (graduating in May/June 2025).
