A private liberal arts college in Hillsdale, Mich., recently announced the establishment of a scholarship specifically for Marine infantrymen, their children and grandchildren.

Werner J. Gogel established the Werner J. Gogel and Margaret F. Gogel Endowed Scholarship Fund at Hillsdale College in honor of his wife and the Marines he served with in World War II, according to a news release from the college.

The scholarship will provide awards of $9,000 to $25,000 per school year for those eligible. It is designed to stand in for the Montgomery G.I. Bill because the college refuses all federal funding because of its stance against federal funding and regulation of education, according to the release.

For more information, contact Jeff Lantis, director of admissions, at (517) 437-7341 or Jeff.Lantis@Hillsdale.edu.
