The Francis “Frank” Parater Scholarship

A $3,000 scholarship has been established to honor Francis "Frank" Parater, Servant of God and Eagle Scout (1897-1920). Born in Richmond, VA, Parater became active in Troop 40 as a teenager, part of what was then the Richmond Council and is now the Heart of Virginia Council. He took on multiple leadership roles with the troop and built a reputation as a Scout with strong ideals and sound judgment. As a youth, Parater was an altar server, high school valedictorian and Eagle Scout. Discerning a call to the priesthood, he entered the seminary in 1917. During his studies in Rome, he died of rheumatic fever in 1920 at the age of 22. Because of his exceptional life of virtue, a cause for his canonization was opened in 2001. The $3,000 scholarship has been funded through the NCCS Scholarship Endowment Fund.
