Webber Family Foundation Makes Additional $12,500 Gift for Scholarships

In December 2008, the Webber Family Foundation pledged $55,000 to the Montgomery College Foundation to create the Adrian and Arthur Webber Memorial Endowed Scholarship to benefit Montgomery College students with financial needs. Adrian and Arthur Webber were former board members of the Webber Family Foundation and lifelong learners at Montgomery College. The Webber Family Foundation recently completed its commitment for the scholarship and donated an additional $12,500, bringing the total for the endowed scholarship to $67,500. This special gift comes at a time when enrollment is increasing and financial aid requests are on the rise. The Montgomery College Foundation is very grateful to the Webber Family Foundation and the Webber family for their generous support of our students. Adrian and Arthur Webber took dozens of arts and humanities classes at Montgomery College's Rockville Campus. A former elementary school teacher and administrator at the National Institutes of Health, Mrs. Webber began taking classes in the summer of 1987. Her interests were in photography, foreign languages, violin and Israeli dancing. Mr. Webber began taking classes in the fall semester of 1995. He enjoyed photography, piano, sculpture and foreign languages. Mrs. Webber passed away on October 26, 2007, and her husband died on May 16, 2008. The endowed scholarship celebrates the Webbers' passion for education by providing support for students studying at Montgomery College.
