"A scholarship is a vote of confidence in your abilities and future success."

 The St. Maron Education Fund “Trust Fund” was established in 1984 under the name “St. Maron’s Education Foundation.” 

It was the idea of Msgr. Dominic Ashkar, the driving force behind the concept, and the idea was presented to the Parish Council. 

After due deliberation, it was then referred to a special committee constituted for this purpose and named the “Education Committee.”
