MARGE SEIFERT SCHOLARSHIP
McKee Library continues to award student workers with scholarship fund In June of 2010, the faculty and staff of McKee Library created the McKee Library Scholarship Fund with the purpose of aiding our student workers with tuition costs. In 2014, this fund became known as the Marge Seifert Scholarship, in honor of the beloved librarian who had recently retired after many years of service at McKee Library. This scholarship is available to students who have worked for the library a minimum of one year for 8 hours per week or more, maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA, and meet the financial need qualification. Students are encouraged to apply and an internal committee makes the final decision based on the student’s short essay response and a recommendation from her direct supervisor. To date, this fund has awarded a total of $4,750 to 11 students.
Donations If you would like to contribute to the Marge Seifert Scholarship fund, please go to southern.edu/give, choose “Other” from the drop down menu, and type in Marge Seifert Scholarship when prompted. Employees who would like to donate via payroll deduction can do so by filling out this form. More Information Please contact Deyse Bravo at dbravo@ southern.edu for more information on the scholarship.
