Class of 1961 Scholarship Fund Info
TO RECAP THE HISTORY OF OUR CLASS OF 1961 SCHOLARSHIP FUND:

• The idea for a scholarship fund as a 50th Anniversary Class Gift first surfaced at our 40th Reunion.  The class survey that followed gave confirmation to the idea of a Class of 1961 Scholarship Fund as our gift to Willamette.
• Sammie Barker McCormack was instrumental in getting the fund off and running.
• Class Scholarship Fund Committee

• The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of need, up to and including full tuition.
• The first scholarship will be awarded in 2011.  The recipient(s) to be invited to join us at the dinner honoring our 50th.
• Our goal is to be able to award one or more undergraduate scholarships each year .
• Gifts of all sizes and kind will be counted toward our 2011 goal.
• Steven Brier, Director of Planned Giving, is available to advise what sort of donation best fits your financial planning and situation. He would be pleased to send you literature about planned giving, or you can visit the Planned Giving website.
