Erica L. Webber | Montgomery College, Maryland

My parents led by example. They didn’t lecture my two brothers and me about the important role education played in their lives. Rather, we watched as they registered for course after course at Montgomery College, and we listened as they regaled us with stories about what they were learning. They loved taking classes at MC alongside students who were sometimes 30 or 40 years younger than them. An unending thirst to continue learning was their fountain of youth.

After they passed, my brothers and I could have selected from numerous organizations to support and honor their memory. We decided on MC because their experiences as students there were so positive. We knew our parents would be honored to know that their legacy would continue by providing others with access to the same educational opportunities they enjoyed. This led us to create the Adrian and Arthur Webber Memorial Endowed Scholarship.

Last year my husband David and I had lunch with a group of their scholarship recipients. We were humbled as they shared their appreciation for the scholarship they received and we sat in awe when they shared the obstacles they had to overcome to pursue their education.
I give to honor my parents and their love of learning, which is carried forward by all those who receive their scholarship.

I hope you will join me.
