Congratulations to 2020 winner Ishani Desai (Class of ’17). She received a $500 scholarship to support her PhD dissertation at Harvard University! Who will be our 2021 recipient???
Greetings from Katie Dezember Werdel and Mikie Hay! It is our goal this year to re-connect with our Ford Family members - all 867 of you! To make this fun, your name will be entered in a drawing for a donation or scholarship once you update your permanent contact information below.
A special Ford Family page has been created on the Jim Burke Education Foundation website to help alumni connect and network with one another. We are excited to hear from you! Simply fill out any information that you would want included with your name and perhaps include a picture. That’s it!
The drawing will be held at our November Jim Burke Education Foundation annual meeting.
If you have any questions contactKatie Werdel (TFD ‘9) at kwerdel@burkeauto.com
