Description

The Betty Lou Sundermann Memorial Scholarship Fund was established by Marie Rosiak to honor her long-time friend. Betty Lou and Marie both attended high school at Schenley High School in Pittsburgh's Hill District, but met some years later while studying at the University of Pittsburgh and became firm friends. Together, they became teachers and mentors to many young people within the Pittsburgh Public School system. To celebrate and commemorate the many lives that Betty Lou touched, this scholarship will be provided to an outstanding student who exemplifies the personal and professional qualities that Betty Lou exhibited. Applicants must be a graduating high school senior attending a Pittsburgh public high school: Allderdice High School; Barack Obama Academy of International Studies (Obama Academy); Brashear High School; Carrick High School; Perry High School; Pittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA); Pittsburgh Science and Technology Academy (SciTech); Pittsburgh Westinghouse Academy; or University Preparatory School at Milliones (U Prep/Pittsburgh Milliones). Preference will be given to applicants who have been disproportionately affected by systemic barriers to educational achievement.
