Marie M. Campbell Scholarship Fund

The Marie M. Campbell Scholarship Fund was established in 1990 for the benefit of students attending Cardinal Brennan High School. The annual earnings were paid to the school to defray the tuition, in whole or in part, of students of Cardinal Brennan High School. It was the donor’s decision, written in the fund agreement, that if Cardinal Brennan closed, half the earnings would be distributed to Nativity High School and the other half to Marian High School. Ms. Campbell created this fund with a $10,000 contribution, which was only a planned “tip of the iceberg” because her Last Will and Testament provided a percentage of her Estate would be added to the fund. The principal balance is $351,122.43 and the annual earnings will benefit the students in perpetuity, which was the donor’s original intent. The 2008 annual earnings from this fund are $14,382.16 or $7,191.08 to each catholic high school for tuition assistance.

Miss Campbell was a lifelong resident of Gordon. She graduated in 1921 from St. Joseph’s High School in Ashland and worked form Citizen’s National Bank of Ashland from 1924 until her retirement in 1987. Miss Campbell passed away on April 4, 1991.
