Contributions to the fund will allow the scholarship committee to continue to help St. Anthony's students with their post secondary education expenses. As higher education costs rise and the benefit of continued education remains clear/unequivocal, we appreciate your support for the education of young people. This matches the love, and nurturing, expressed by Joan Allen.

Joan Allen Memorial Scholarship
The Joan Allen Memorial Scholarship commemorates our beloved Joan Allen (1943-1989). Joan was the loving wife of the late Fr. Joseph Allen, a devoted mother, dedicated elementary school teacher, talented musician and a choreographer with a gift of performance. Her life was the embodiment of everything that was right with the world: harmony and peace, ambition with compassion, creativity that also honored tradition, and love, especially for children.
The scholarship fund was established in 1990. It provides financial support for applicants who desire to pursue academic or vocational studies after graduating high school. The scholarship may be used for an accredited academic, technical or vocational institution that offers either a two or four year curriculum.
