ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP GIVING
"I choose to give to McNamara because I believe in the mission of this school. Even though I am a La Reine graduate, I consider myself an alum. I am very excited about the building of the La Reine Science Center to continue the memory of my wonderful high school and former sister school of McNamara."
The Bettie J. Sugars Perseverance Scholarship is awarded to a sophomore student who is committed to success despite the challenges they may encounter. The student who receives the scholarship embodies the same spirit as the scholarship namesake, Bettie J. Sugars.
I was inspired by the determination that my mother had as a single mother to give everything that she had to make sure that I had the best opportunity for success in life. She was an educator by profession and the salary was not great but she dedicated her life to others. She taught me about giving back and I called this the Bettie J. Sugars Perseverance Scholarship because she embodies perseverance. I hope that the scholarship can ease a little of the financial burden that tuition can sometimes cause.
