Margaret Sanders with NESA's David Chojnacki in 2005.Margaret Sanders, who passed away in June 2009, was a longtime friend of American/international education through her association with Walsworth Publishing Company. She established a scholarship fund, the Margaret Sanders Foundation, to help graduates of our schools attend college. Four $5,000 scholarships are awarded each spring to graduating seniors at international schools who demonstrate persistence, motivation, resourcefulness, and acceptance of other cultures and points of view. Academics, educational and vocational aspirations, financial need and involvement in journalism are also considered in the selection process.

Each regional association (ie, NESA, AISA, EARCOS, ECIS, etc) chooses one candidate for consideration by the Margaret Sanders Foundation. Each NESA regular member school may nominate one candidate, whose application must reach NESA by December 1.
