The Tiernan-Keigher Scholarship was made possible by a generous anonymous donor with matching proceeds from our 2006 Auction. This scholarship is awarded to a current Griffin 8th grade student and held in trust until the recipient is enrolled in a higher education program.

The scholarship was created in acknowledgment of two women, Margaret Keigher and Annie Tiernan, who left Ireland in the first quarter of the last century to find a better life in America. While neither had children of their own or a formal education, they were women of great faith, wisdom, and patience. They spent their lives providing love and understanding to countless children in their care who will always remember them.
