Frank and Marion Taylor Rocky Mountain Alumni Scholarship

The Rocky Mountain Alumni Chapter Scholarship was established by alumni and friends of Doane University from the Rocky Mountain area to assist students who wish to attend Doane University in pursuit of an outstanding college education. 

The RMAC will award two (2) one-time scholarships in the amount of $1,250. These scholarships will be paid directly to Doane University and credited to the two recipients' accounts. Only students who have applied and been admitted to Doane University are eligible to apply. Strong consideration is given to students who demonstrate high academic performance, possess excellent leadership potential, show strong career direction, and are outstanding citizens in their communities. A submitted Housing Deposit and how far along an applicant is in their final college decision will also be considered.  

The deadline to apply for this scholarship is Wednesday, March 20, 2024.

  2. Invite five guests to dinner (past or present). Who are they? Why did you invite them? What are you going to discuss?
  3. Look back at all that has transpired over the past 365 days. If you had the opportunity to address your class at graduation (some of you will undoubtedly have that chance), what would you share as your greatest accomplishment from this past year?

Finally, what advice would you give to your class on how to best use this experience as a stepping stone to success in college and beyond?
