About the Bridget O’Keefe-Dunn Scholarship Fund
Bridget O’Keefe-Dunn was a 1984 graduate of Saint Mary’s Central High School (SMCHS) in Bismarck, N.D. who passed away suddenly in an accident in 2021. A fund has been established in Bridget’s memory to support tuition assistance for SMCHS students and 2 college scholarships for graduating seniors interested in studying art at University or Technical College. Like many large Catholic families, the O’Keefe’s benefited from the Diocesan commitment to keeping Catholic education affordable and available to everyone. The Light of Christ shines on all of us, not just the well off.
Note to N.D. residents: to take advantage of the North Dakota Nonprofit Private School Contribution credit, donations should be made directly to Light of Christ, which in turn will issue you a receipt. Please indicate the funds are to be placed in the Bridget O’Keefe Dunn Scholarship Fund and whether or not you have a preference to direct your donation to general tuition assistance, the art scholarships or both.
As of August 2024, over $27,000 has been dispersed in scholarships and tuition assistance.
