P.A.C.E. To Success Scholarship

The purpose of the Emmary Butler Foundation, established in 2016, is to provide supportive services for underrepresented students in the Fort Wayne community through career mentorship, academic scholarship, and education support. Our premier program, P.A.C.E. to Success, is a college-readiness program for high school juniors and seniors. We believe that Perseverance, Attitude, Commitment, and Excellence are the core values necessary to attain success in education.  The word pace also reminds us that this journey is not a sprint, but a marathon that is ran at your own speed. Since our inaugural year we have awarded over $10,000.00 in scholarships and established an endowment at Xavier University of Louisiana!
