SBA juniors receive Remmert scholarships
SBA has named two juniors who are this year’s recipients of the Remmert Family Memorial Scholar-ship. They are Jessica Morrison and Courtney Cremerius.
The memorial scholarship endowment fund was created three years ago at the Catholic Diocese of Memphis to benefit rising juniors and seniors. The scholarship commemorates the lives of Herman Albert and Berenice Agnes Remmert for their longstanding commitment to Catholic education.
The Remmerts arrived in Memphis in the 1950s. Over the next 25 years, they supported seven children’s completion of higher Catholic education.
Students with a 3.0 GPA or above compete for the scholarship by submitting applications, reference letters and essays to the Superintendent of Catholic Schools. From these, prospective recipients are asked to highlight early career interests. Other relevant factors, such as faith and service, are also considered in determination of which students are the worthiest scholarship recipients.
