The Gladys M. Meehan Endowed Scholarship
The Gladys M. Meehan Endowed Scholarship Fund has been established
by Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Maruszak. It is named in honor of Mrs. Gladys
M. Meehan, the mother of Margaret Maruszak and a long-time teacher
in the Catholic school system.
The Gladys M. Meehan Endowed Scholarship Fund has been created as
a tribute to Mrs. Gladys Meehan, who waited many years before returning
to college in her middle years to attain a Bachelor of Science degree
in education at Chicago Teachers College in 1965. Previously, her husband
had achieved a long- time goal of earning a college degree from Northwestern
University, after a 28 year delay in being able to attain that significant
goal. Mrs. Gladys Meehan, who was a highly dedicated and enthusiastic
teacher, spent several decades accomplishing great good in the lives
of her students. She passed along her love of teaching to her children
and grandchildren, many of whom are also highly committed teachers
and educators.
This endowed scholarship fund has been established for support of
the education of adult students who enroll at Lewis University later
in life, in order to become qualified to pursue a new career as a teacher.
Preference is given to those preparing to teach in parochial schools,
but it is applicable also for those who plan to teach in public schools.
Applications for this scholarship are available in the Financial Aid
office and in the College of Education.
