USM scholarship gala
Students like Richard Marsters of Westbrook will benefit from a scholarship gala, “Home for the Holidays,” 6-10 p.m., on Friday, Dec. 2, in Brooks Student Center on the Gorham Campus at the University of Southern Maine.
“At age 40 with a 9-year-old son, the only way I could go back to school full-time was through the help of a scholarship,” Marsters said. “The faculty and staff in the USM School of Music have more than accommodated my needs as an older student. They have nurtured and supported me through virtually every step of earning my degree.”
The evening begins with hors d’oeuvres and socializing before a formal dinner with wine, dessert and coffee. The event is black tie optional. Tickets are $90 per person or $150 to become a member of the host committee. Whole tables are available for reservations. For more information or for reservations, which are required by Tuesday, Nov. 22, call 780-5003 (TTY 780-5646) or email bracket@usm.maine.edu.
