On February 6, 2013, first-year St. Mary’s College student Beth Gerads died suddenly after a brief illness. She was 19 years old. A bright light in the world, she provided the consolations of friendship and genuine good nature when she lived; a beautiful Catholic soul, she both inspired and edified with her peaceful resignation in answering God’s call as she died. Her legacy is one of hope and love.

Beth’s parents have established a scholarship fund in her name to benefit deserving St. Mary’s College students in need. Through their generosity, Beth will remain a vital part of the College family she loved so deeply.

The College is honored to establish the Beth Gerads Memorial Scholarship. Your donation made below will not only assist students in need, but honor the memory of a true St. Mary’s daughter.
