Introducing the Raphael Maria Bastian Memorial Scholarship
  • Upper School

Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart is honored to announce the establishment of the Raphael Maria Bastian Memorial Scholarship, a prestigious new opportunity for rising Grade 12 students.

This scholarship is dedicated to the memory of Raphael Maria Bastian SH’83, P’16, P’18, a cherished Sacred Heart alumna, devoted mother, and esteemed leader who served as Board Chair from 2021 to 2024.

Raphael’s unwavering faith, visionary leadership, and steadfast commitment to the Carrollton community left an indelible mark on our school. To honor her legacy, this one-year scholarship of up to $10,000 will be awarded to a student who exemplifies the core values she embodied: faith, service, intellectual excellence, leadership, and a dedication to personal growth within a supportive community.

Applicants must demonstrate:

  • Faith and Spirituality – A personal and active faith in God, reflected in a strong moral compass, compassionate leadership, and engagement in faith-based or service initiatives.

  • Intellectual Excellence – A commitment to academic curiosity, intellectual growth, and the lifelong pursuit of wisdom, both inside and outside the classroom.

  • Personal Growth and Community Building – A dedication to fostering meaningful relationships, strengthening the Carrollton community, and contributing to a culture of inclusion, respect, joy, and mutual support.

The scholarship recipient will be selected based on their demonstrated commitment to the values of a Sacred Heart education and their impact within the Carrollton community. This year's recipient will be announced on April 28, 2025.

As we approach the anniversary of Raphael’s passing, this scholarship stands as a testament to her enduring legacy and the profound impact she had on our community. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to The Bastian Family Foundation, the Boink family, and Carrollton’s Board of Trustees for their generous support in making this opportunity possible. Their contributions ensure that Raphael’s spirit of faith, leadership, and service continues to inspire future generations of Sacred Heart students.
