Alumni, family, and friends

are building two Dolbin Endowments

 

The David and Margaret Dolbin Football Scholarship

 

A total of $63,725 in signed commitments from former Shippensburg University alumni, family members, and friends are making possible a new scholarship endowment fund that honors the efforts of both 1960s-era Football Coach Dave Dolbin and his wife Margaret, who served on the campus for many years as a nurse.

 

On Oct. 28, 2006, a 50-yard line facsimile check presentation lauded the establishment of this new endowment fund that will help Shippensburg University to recruit quality scholar/athletes who are football players.

 

The goal is to be able to fund at least two half-tuition scholarships from the income generated by this endowment fund. Dollar-wise in relation to today's tuition, $118,000 in endowment principal would annually generate two half-tuition scholarships, together totaling $5,038. We've gained good ground in establishing this endowment fund, and now we need others to join the team effort to carry this to the goal posts!  We're $54,275 from the goal.

Gifts can be made through various ways:  check, credit card (MasterCard, VISA, and Discover), letter of intent form, transfer of stocks/mutual funds shares, bonds, and other assets. This fund also accepts planned gifts such bequests, life-income charitable gift annuities, and trusts that can be of great benefit to the donor while at the same time signifying a gift amount to be included later in this fund that honors Coach Dolbin.

 

Checks payable to:  Shippensburg University Foundation/Dolbin Football Scholarship.

The Dean David Dolbin and Margaret Dolbin Residence Life Leadership Award

 

Many alumni of Shippensburg University remember Dave Dolbin as "the Dean." Dave served as Dean of Men and later as Dean of Students. Read more about his service in the Residence Life area, and about his wife Margaret's caring efforts as she served as a nurse on campus.

 

A second scholarship endowment fund honors Dave and Margaret Dolbin for their faithful, dedicated work to all Shippensburg University students over the years. A Steering Committee of alumni served as the catalyst for such an endowment that will provide awards to students who are outstanding leaders as Residence Assistants (RA's).

 

The goal of the Dolbin Residence Life Leadership Award endowment is to provide several $500 awards each year to deserving students who are Residence Assistants (RA's).

 

To date, $14,800 in pledge commitments are in hand. In order to be able to give two $500 awards each year, a minimum of $25,000 is needed in this endowment fund. It is the dream of the Steering Committee and the Dolbin family to be able to give four or more such awards each year.

 

All alumni who know Dave and Margaret Dolbin are invited to participate as a way to show their love, respect, and gratitude to Dave and Margaret for all they have given in helping to prepare students for their careers and life journeys.
