CLAUDIA PICKERAL SCHOLARSHIP

The NAACP, St. Mary’s County Branch in partnership with the Claudia Pickeral Reward Fund Committee founded a scholarship in honor of 13 year old Claudia who was the victim of a homicide that occurred in Bushwood , St. Mary’s County, Md. on February 19, 1997.

The NAACP, St. Mary’s County Branch in partnership with the Claudia Pickeral Reward Fund Committee founded a scholarship in honor of 13 year old Claudia who was the victim of a homicide that occurred in Bushwood , St. Mary’s County, Md. on February 19, 1997. On that day, Claudia exited her school bus, and was walking along a dirt road leading to her residence when she was brutally attacked and murdered.

Claudia Pickeral Scholarship Donation from Banneker Class of 1958, represented by Mrs. Elsie Lawrence, in the amount of $1,000.

Claudia Pickeral Scholarship Donation from Banneker Class of 1958, represented by Mrs. Elsie Lawrence, in the amount of $1,000. The scholarship fund will award two five-hundred dollar academic scholarships annually to deserving students who have been accepted to or are currently attending an accredited college, university, trade or technical school.


We believe this to be a very appropriate way to honor Claudia’s memory, Wayne Scriber, President of the NAACP, St. Mary’s County Branch, said of the scholarship. “Her young life ended too soon for her to realize her potential, but with the help of this scholarship she will be helping another young person realize theirs.”
