Scholarships
The Mary L. Burke Merit Scholarship was established in 2012 through the generosity of an anonymous donor to recognize talented middle and high school students who are new to the Whitfield community. The scholarship is named in honor of Mary L. Burke, Ph.D., the passionate, energetic, and dedicated visionary who served as Head of School from 1984 until her retirement in 2004.
