Group starts MacMurray Scholars program FacebookTwitterEmail The MacMurray Foundation and Alumni Association is introducing a scholarship program through which it hopes to award at least $15,000 its first year. The foundation’s MacMurray Scholars will include at least 15 $1,000 scholarships to start, with plans to increase the number of scholarships and the amount awarded in coming years. Priority will be given to members of the MacFam Community — including students whose MacMurray College education was disrupted by the school’s closing, alumni, faculty, staff and their families. MacMurray College closed in May after 174 years. MacMurray Foundation and Alumni Association was formed that month as an independent non-profit corporation seeking to preserve, maintain and continue the legacy of the school. It does not receive any funding from the college.
