Edwards-Flannagan Scholarship

Established in early 2024 by Elizabeth Flannagan Edwards, the Edwards-Flannagan Scholarship will serve as a true endowment within the Trinity Episcopal School Endowment Fund, intended to provide a permanent source of scholarship funding for Trinity.

The Edwards-Flannagan Endowed Scholarship is awarded to a student who demonstrates robust involvement in Trinity’s diverse offerings – from the arts and athletics to clubs and academics. The scholarship is named in memory of Steve Edwards and Warren Flannagan, Jr.

Steve, a Trinity parent (’07) and grandparent (’15), served as a valuable member of the Titan football coaching staff. The Edwards-Flannagan Endowed Scholarship recognizes what Steve cherished most about our community: racial, social, economic and geographic diversity and the importance of hard work. He celebrated the unique potential of each student. The scholarship serves to recognize individuals who embody Steve’s unwavering commitment to Trinity’s philosophy to integrate life into learning and learning into life.

Warren was a talented artist and carpenter with a generous heart and kind soul. He would have thrived in Trinity’s supportive, nurturing environment where the talents, skills and the interests of every student are celebrated. The scholarship serves to recognize individuals who embody Warren’s acceptance and respect of individuality.
Emily Huffman McLeod Scholarship Fund

This scholarship is named in honor of Emily McLeod for her service to Trinity. This fund supports the enrollment of talented students for whom a Trinity education would be financially challenging.

Emily, who retired as Director of Admission in 2013 after more than 25 years at Trinity, exemplified warmth, welcome, integrity and character and worked tirelessly to bring the best possible students to Trinity.

Friends, family, educators, former students and grateful parents have made gifts to Trinity to build this fund, and to say “thank you” to honor this consummate professional who has done so much for so many.
Ann Randolph Jonas ’97 Endowed Scholarship

This scholarship is named in memory of Ann Randolph Jonas ’97, a devoted art student at Trinity, who passed away on June 30, 2005. This endowed scholarship is awarded annually to a graduating senior demonstrating a promising future in the arts.
