The Claire Marie Foundation Scholarship in Arts & Design
Claire loved all-things fashion, beauty and design. Her dream was to become an interior designer. That creative dream lives on through the Claire Marie Foundation Scholarship for Arts and Design. The one-time $5,000 scholarship is awarded annually to a graduating senior at Notre Dame Preparatory in Towson, Maryland who will pursue an academic and professional career in design arts. Recipients are chosen by our panel of esteemed judges. It’s our hope that, through this scholarship, more young women from Claire’s alma mater will be encouraged and empowered to pursue their artistic passion.
