Frati Receives Harrington (ANAVICUS) Scholarship

Carroll College junior nursing major Shannon Frati of Wasilla, AK, has received a $1,500 Reverend Frank Lawrence Harrington (ANAVICUS) Scholarship for the 2022-2023 academic year. The award is in recognition of academic achievement, leadership potential and spiritual conduct in keeping with the best traditions of The American Legion and Carroll College. Frati is grateful to The American Legion and Elizabeth Zimmerman for this award. She came to Carroll College for one-on-one opportunities with professors and to nurture her Catholic faith. Frati continues to serve as a Peer Minister and is a member of the Gold Team Student Ambassadors. Her long-term goals may include emergency nursing or pediatric oncology.

The Reverend Frank L. Harrington Scholarship was established in 1987 by the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada, United States Unit, to honor Father Harrington, National Chaplain of The American Legion in 1947-48. Father Harrington was a spiritual leader, teacher and patriot, as shown by his service to Mount St. Charles College (later renamed Carroll College) as dean of men and professor of mathematics. His spiritual leadership and close liaison with Canadian veterans, as members of the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada, helped develop a close relationship which led to the awarding of honorary life membership in the Canadian group’s United States Unit to members of The American Legion, a unit which flourishes today.
