Brenda J. Tella, a lifelong Plainville resident, established this scholarship fund to support families who are parishioners at Our Lady of Mercy Church (OLMC) in Plainville. Scholarships will be awarded to students from families who are parishioners in good standing at OLMC to assist with the costs of Catholic education at an elementary, middle or high school located in CT. If there are no applicants from OLMC, applications may be considered from students who reside in Plainville, CT and wish to attend a Catholic elementary, middle or high school located in CT.
