Louis & Temple Marsch Scholarship Program
The Louis and Temple Marsch Charitable Trust will again be awarding scholarships to qualified
students who will be, or are attending college. The Marsch Charitable Trust was established in
late 1973 by the late Mrs. Louis Marsch of Morrisonville, Illinois, in memory of her husband.
The Trust provides scholarship funds to students pursuing education in engineering and scientific
related areas. The scholarships awarded are for TUITION ONLY and usually provide semiannual payments to the recipients until their graduation from college.
To be a qualified student, the individual must graduate from a high school within a
specific area and be enrolled or accepted as a full-time student at a school of their choice
studying engineering or a scientific field. The specific area from which the high school
must be located is Christian, Montgomery or Macoupin Counties, or the townships of
Auburn, Pawnee, Divernon, Rochester and Mechanicsburg in Sangamon County, or the

scientific field and maintain a “C” average to continue receipt of the scholarship funds.
