Tagliamonte Earrings to Support the Maria Pearl Miller Memorial Scholarship  

100% of all proceeds from the sale of these earrings goes to support the Maria Pearl Memorial Fund for high school senior scholarships for seniors seeking a future in the teaching profession. Maria Pearl passed away at the young age of 16 from an AVM which is similar to a brain aneurysm. Her story is that of a beautiful girl who sought to make a difference in the lives of others in some way, every day of her life.

As a young girl, Maria Pearl, had many aspirations.  The career path that she planned to follow was that of a teacher.  She was not able to realize her dreams, but her memory lives on in many ways.  One of the ways in which we choose to remember her is with an annual scholarship that is given to 2 high school students who are embarking on a path that most aligns with the path that she intended to follow. 

Since 2006, every year, a scholarship has been given out in Maria Pearl’s name to two graduating seniors who will be attending a 4-year accredited college, pursuing a career in Education, preferably Early Childhood Education.
