The Brian McManus Scholarship Fund

The Brian McManus Scholarship Fund was established to honor the memory and lasting legacy of Brian McManus, Northside College Prep Class of 2017. Each year, the scholarship awards $5,000 to a graduating senior who exemplifies the qualities Brian lived every day: leadership, kindness, perseverance, and a commitment to uplifting others.

Brian was known for his warm smile, boundless energy, generous spirit, and love of athletics. A dedicated member of Northside's cross country and track & field teams, he was a four-year varsity athlete and two-year team captain whose passion for running began in grade school and continued throughout high school. He dreamed of competing at the collegiate level before courageously battling leukemia.


Although Brian passed away on May 15, 2018, his impact continues to be felt throughout the Northside community. Through this scholarship, his legacy lives on by recognizing students who reflect his character and by inspiring future generations to lead with compassion, determination, and heart.
