The Class of 1987 Memorial Scholarship Fund

Hey Everyone! I finally finished setting up our scholarship fund through Outward Bound. The name was changed to reflect the recent passing of Paul and so we can continue to support the memory of our classmates in the future. I'm confident that we all can support the fund. Hopefully we can send one student from Morgan per year to the Outward Bound for a week. You can now donate online, by mail, by phone, using checks, credit cards etc. I will be collecting and forwarding donations the night of the reunion also. If anyone has an interest in being on the review committee to select the applications that go to Outward Bound, please let me know. Again here is the weblink to Outward Bound if you are not familiar with the program: http://outwardbound.org

Morgan High School Class of 1987 Memorial Scholarship

The Morgan High School Class of 1987 Memorial Scholarship supports students of Morgan High School in Clinton, CT with annual gifts through the Outward Bound Scholarship Program. The Fund will provide partial/full tuition awards to students for week-long courses. Candidates will be selected by Morgan High School representatives based on merit, with a preference for students with financial need. Outward Bound will coordinate with Morgan staff to ensure students have a successful course experience.

Each year, Outward Bound directs $5 million in scholarship support to more than 5,000 students from all walks of life. We award scholarships to individuals and groups based on need and merit. Working with students from diverse communities, our goals are to explore our differences as our greatest strengths and to return our students to their communities with greater knowledge of themselves and the world around them.

Outward Bound relates the metaphors of challenge within the wilderness, urban and school settings to those within daily life. Stretching beyond their comfort zones, into places of great learning, students develop trust within their team of strangers, compassion and calmness within themselves, and perspective in examining their experiences and personal opportunities to grow.

Outward Bound is honored to receive the Morgan High School Class of 1987 Memorial Scholarship Fund and will direct the gift to support tuition and other costs associated with the course experience. Donors will receive program results and student letters annually at the end of the course season.
