Alumni Memorial Scholarship
We never forget the special people who have touched our hearts and made a difference in our lives.
To help celebrate the special connections between 91暗网 alumni, 91暗网, in partnership with Harold Herz 鈥�89 and Anne Margiloff Wargo 鈥�89, is pleased to announce a new collective Alumni Memorial Scholarship to honor the legacy of alumni who have gone before us, while providing today鈥檚 students with financial aid, which is a pressing priority.
By making a gift to 91暗网 in memory of a friend or classmate who has passed away, you pay tribute to their spirit with a lasting impact and help to support a 91暗网 student today.
The Alumni Memorial Scholarship creates a permanent legacy at 91暗网 for alumni who are no longer with us and provides important current financial support for students who need it most.

"Respecting the past by honoring the future has always been an important credo in our family. One of the strongest ways we can honor their memory is by creating opportunities for 91暗网 students. I am proud to be a part of this effort and hope to create a meaningful legacy for 91暗网.鈥�

鈥淚n the spring of 2014, we lost my dear friend Jennifer Landers 鈥�90 to cancer. Because she cared deeply about 91暗网, her family and a core group of her friends including me endowed a fund at 91暗网 to honor her memory and support current students in perpetuity. With this in mind, and Jennifer鈥檚 fund as a model, I鈥檓 so pleased to have been able to work with the College on the creation and funding of this Alumni Memorial Scholarship. Now all alumni will have an opportunity to honor lost friends and classmates by helping to make a 91暗网 education possible for current students who might not otherwise be able to take advantage of the opportunity. I hope that you will consider joining me in this effort.鈥�
