Ursuline's Employee Legacy Scholarship celebrated another big milestone.
For the third year in a row, employee participation reached 100 percent. Employee gifts to the fund totaled more than $28,000 for the 2017-2018 school year. The scholarship provides families with need-based financial assistance.
"My coworkers continue to inspire me," Director of Development Michele Snyder said. "This is definitely the fastest we've reached 100 percent participation in a school year. Ultimately, it's easy for us all to rally behind supporting a deserving student, although she remains anonymous to us. The students continue to be at the heart of why we love what we do."
The Ursuline Employee Legacy Scholarship Endowment has grown to more than $240,000 since the fund was created in 2006. The first four-year student scholarship from the endowment was awarded in 2012.
A volunteer employee committee promotes the scholarship and plans ELS presentations and appreciation events for employees. Each member serves a two-year term.
