My wife and I have donated to the MCSF for the past five years because we truly believe in its purpose and functioning. We have been privileged to meet a number of the scholarship recipients and to hear their stories of what the scholarships meant to them.

Great foundation. I was a board member and later ended up using the foundation for my college son. I was terminated in April 2008. And the foundation came to my son/my rescue and provided assistance. I am happy to report that he graduates from the University of Florida in April 2010. My many thanks to the Foundations leadership and Board members. I urge all Veterans of all services to help the Foundation, so that the foundation can help the sons/daughters of Marines and Corpsman. Semper Fi!

I have been contributing MCSF for about 4 yrs. When I retired, being used to having an amount deducted from my pay for United Way, I was looking for an alternative that I believed in and felt strongly about. MCSF has a sub-fund called Heroes Tribute, that provides scholarships to kids of fallen Marines and Corpsman. I now have an amount charged to my credit card monthly, designated for that fund. It was very easy to set up at their web site www.mcsf.com. The MCSF newsletter called "On Point" alerted me to a new golf fund raiser in Wethersfield CT. I've volunteered at that event ever since.

Contributing to the Heroes Tribute Fund.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Exceptionally dedicated. I've met 2 national event coord. As a volunteer, I'm "small potatoes". But I received a callback from the previous CEO, on a minor matter. I really appreciated it, even though he was dealing with his own tragedy at the time.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Provide more scholarships. Since we are currently active in several theaters, the needs will be greater for the Iraq & Afgan Marine & Corpsman families, for the next 25 yrs.

The Marine Corp Scholarship Foundation is an outstanding way to thank servicemen and their families for their service in the most meaningful way possible....providing opportunity through education. It is run by extremely focused and passionate individuals who dedicate their days to enabling the dreams of Marine families...in a way that requires the full participation and drive of the recipient.

Put an amazing number of deserving people in college.
