Eleanor Harper Music Scholarship Fund

Founded by husband Robert Harper for children with musical talents and an interest in performance.

Eleanor Harper was one of Frederick’s best-known musicians. She spent most of her life performing and teaching music. She studied voice, organ and music theory at Hood College before moving to New York City. There, she performed at the world-famous Roxy Theater and many other venues before her return to Frederick in 1958. Mrs. Harper’s husband, Robert, started The Eleanor Harper Music Scholarship Fund in his wife’s memory. Given Eleanor’s passion for music, the Fund aptly awards scholarships to children under age 22 who have musical talent and an interest in vocal or instrumental performance.

Emma Baker Fund

Founded by parents David and Catherine Baker to provide grants and scholarships.

Emma Baker was a student at Catoctin High School, and an athlete who loved to play softball. She was also a lively fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and active in her church, St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Westminster, Maryland. She liked to read, play games, and travel. Sadly, Emma passed away in late 2012 at age 14 after a battle with brain cancer. Emma’s parents, David and Catherine Baker, created the fund to create a legacy for Emma that reflects her activities and interests, and to share what a wonderful daughter she was and the impact she had on so many people in a short time.
