What is the Pay It Forward Scholarship?
Established in 2010 by the senior class, the Pay It Forward Scholarship is an ongoing tradition for the Senior Class Gift. This year, we ask all Class of 2012 Senior Saints to "Pay it Forward." Think back to your first day on campus, and the memories you've created over your four years. Now it's your turn to give the same experience and opportunities to an incoming freshman.
For every $500 that the senior class raises, one freshman student will be sponsored. We hope to obtain 50% participation and are asking for each senior to give $12 in honor of your graduation year, or any amount that you feel comfortable with, whether it be more or less. It is not the amount that matters; it's your participation that counts.
Senior Class Gift Committee
We are currently accepting applications for the 2012 Senior Class. Responsibilities for the members of the Senior Class Gift Committee are as follows:
- Contribute to the Senior Class Gift
- Recruit friends and classmates to participate and give to the Senior Class Gift
- Attend scheduled meetings with Development Office staff in Rowley Hall
- Attend and staff Senior Class Gift activities (this includes the 50 Days/50 Nights Party)
- Assist with marketing of the Senior Class Gift through Facebook and other media
By organizing and contributing to the Pay It Forward Scholarship, you have the chance to leave behind a bit of your own personality and take your first steps toward being a proud and active Marymount alum.
