Memorial Scholarship Drive

'81 Drive for 25!

Helping Generations of Bruins Pursue Their Academic Dreams

The Capital High School Alumni Class of 1981 established this 

scholarship fund at the Montana Community Foundation (MCF) to 

annually provide a scholarship to a graduating senior at Capital High 

School in Helena who has demonstrated financial need and/or a 

combination of academic and extracurricular merit and is pursuing 

post-secondary education. 

What is an Endowment? 

An endowment is a fund held in perpetuity for charitable benefit. In 

the case of the Capital High School Alumni Class of 1981 Memorial 

Scholarship, the fund will support generations of graduating seniors 

at Capital High School through annual scholarships. As the fund 

grows, returns are used to support the scholarship. An endowment 

can be funded by a variety of assets such as cash, property, or 

securities.
