The Beverly J. Smith Memorial Scholarship was established by the Harrisburg Branch of the AAUW to honor our past president. Ms. Smith was a nationally known and respected expert on refugee resettlement and immigration. She devoted her life to helping people of diverse nationalities begin new lives and obtain education, homes, health care, and legal advice. We want to honor her memory by assisting the education of a woman working towards a bachelor’s degree. We would especially like to assist someone who embodies Ms. Smith’s vision.
