Clara Keezer Birch and Ruth Birch Marzec '48 Scholarship Endowment

The purpose of the Clara Keezer Birch and Ruth Birch Marzec ’48 Scholarship Endowment is to support scholarships for students who have financial need, with a preference for those who live in Grafton County and/or who are majoring in elementary education, English or plant and/or animal science. Recipients should be: a sophomore or higher level; exhibit determination and dedication to college work; and are full time students, attending for a full year of study for the year in which the award is to be applied. If the chosen recipient does not complete the year, the unused portion of the scholarship award should be returned to the fund payout account.
