Marshfield High School Scholarship Fund

Reunions

Community and Memorial Scholarship Fund

In 2012 the program awarded 117 scholarships totaling over $206,356. 77 Pirates received financial aid for their post high school education or training. That's an average of almost $2,700!
There are almost 60 Endowed Scholarships, including 16 dedicated to vocational/technical studies. When you help endow a scholarship, the scholarship will be awarded forever.

Thanks for endowing four more scholarships during 2012.
Please consider helping endow scholarships on behalf of others in the Pirate family, including former Pirate Bruce Hoffine '44.

Or help endow these other scholarships, which already have initial funding, but need to get the $12,500 amount.

Class Challenge!!!!!!!!

Classes of '54 and '62 are class acts!
The class of 1954 was the first class of Pirates to endow a scholarship. With over 75 candles on their cakes, being a super senior has a different meaning now than it did 56 years ago when the '54 Pirates were 17 and 18 years old. Check out their supersite. Thanks for leading the way of class endowments.

If you can't be first, be the biggest! So says the class of '62. At the time that the class of '54 endowed their scholarship, the minimum requirement to endow a scholarship was $10,000. It now takes $12,500 to endow a scholarship, but the class of 1962 thought the new minimum was a little low. When their 50th reunion rolled around in 2012, the not so young bucs filled a treasure chest with over $31,000!!!!!

WOW! Here's a rundown of how various classes stand in their endowment status as of early January, 2012:

     Class of 1962   $31,425 Wow! Must have had a good 50th year reunion!
     Class of 1954   $11,777 ENDOWED (when scholarships were endowed at $10,000)
     Class of 1956   $12,150 OH SO CLOSE!
     Class of 1969   $ 1,775
     Class of 1968   $ 1,400
     Class of 1970   $     500

How can you start your class endowment?

Contact Candace McGowne at candacem@coos-bay.k12.or.us and ask her to set up an account for your class.
At your reunion, challenge your classmates to meet or beat a certain amount. But remind them that any amount is appreciated.
