Scholarship Information:

The Miss B Memorial Scholarship was created with memorial contributions by family, friends, classmates and members of the community after Brittin Meyer passed away in October 2024. The scholarship is meant to recognize her love for school and the CHS Peer-to-Peer program honoring her memory.
Brittin, nicknamed Miss B, was born against all odds, and weighing just over three pounds. Brittin earned her life motto, “Though she be but little, she is fierce.” Her well-lived life was defined by her determination and grit, and her beautiful smile and twinkling eyes.

She was raised in Bismarck, and attended BECEP, Grimsrud Elementary, Horizon Middle School and Century High School, where she was a senior. Miss B loved school; she couldn’t get there fast enough, and when the school day ended, didn’t want to leave. She was involved in the CHS Peer-to-Peer program and United Sound orchestra.

She embedded herself into the lives and hearts of many with her laughter, love and many quirks. Miss B loved dancing, climbing stairs, and could spend all day outside, especially in the sunshine. She was fascinated with people and loved to watch everyone doing anything. Although Brittin was unable to speak, her actions and spunk spoke volumes. Without saying a word, she left a legacy of perseverance, acceptance and love.

A $1000 scholarship will be awarded annually to one graduating senior from Century High School. The recipient will be selected by a committee representing the CHS Peer-to-Peer program, CHS administration, and a Meyer family representative.
