High School Endowed Scholarship
In Memory of Sr. Greta Jupiter, SSF

To the SMA Class of 1965 
We are very pleased that you are considering making a donation to the Saint Mary’s Academy High School Endowed Scholarship Fund in Memory of Sister Greta Jupiter, SSF.  Your SMA classmate, Sister Greta (Gwendolyn Jupiter), was a wonderful educator, leader, sister and friend. Establishing this annual SMA scholarship was one of her final wishes. She strongly believed that a good Christian education is key to a young lady becoming successful in both her spiritual and physical life. In 2021, family and friends created this SMA Endowed Scholarship in her honor.
