Jennifer Mitchell Memorial Scholarship Fund

St. Anne’s joins four other congregations annually to make scholarship awards to 11 high school seniors from Reston and Herndon.  The fund was established to recognize students who have attained a solid record of achievement despite economic, family, linguistic or other difficulties that would have impeded less dedicated and determined students.
