Overview
The Gerald McDonald Scholarship Fund was established in 2003 by Gerald McDonald, a long-time resident of Mt. Pleasant and supporter of Sacred Heart Academy. Gerald “Jerry” McDonald was a 1950 graduate of the Academy who served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and worked for Total Petroleum for 39 years. Following his death in 2010, the SHA Foundation established the memorial scholarship to commemorate his service as a Foundation Trustee and his devotion to the school's mission. Interest from the endowed fund is awarded annually as tuition assistance to help families attend Sacred Heart Academy.
