Dale Rosene Alaska Great Lakes Project Scholarship
Purpose
The Dale Rosene Alaska Great Lakes Project Scholarship was established by George and Sherri Seifert in honor of retired Marshall Middle School teacher, Dale Rosene. In 1989, in response to the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska, Mr. Rosene and Gary Holsten of Palmer, AK Junior Middle School conceived the Alaska Great Lakes Project. For 26 years, Mr. Rosene took students annually to Alaska for a trip that was both a comprehensive science experiment and an opportunity for personal growth and discovery. The Scholarship is awarded to a Marshall High School graduating senior, previous recipient or a previous MHS graduate who was an Alaskan Great Lakes Project participant seeking an undergraduate degree at a two- or four-year institution as a full- or part-time student. Applicants should exhibit the characteristics of the FISH! Philosophy, including: Choosing your attitude – hold yourself responsible for how you respond to situations; Playing at work – be creative and enthusiastic and have fun with everything you do; Make someone’s day – be a positive force in the lives of the people you encounter; Being present for people – respect those you serve by being emotionally present during conversations. Involvement in co- and extra-curricular activities such as, but not limited to, leadership in clubs and student organizations, is a determining factor. GPA is not a qualifying factor, however, transcripts and test scores are required.
