Margaret Sanders Scholarship
THE
MARGARET SANDERS FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
For more than 65 years, Margaret Sanders often found herself working
in a man’s world where she held such jobs as advertising designer,
writer, air traffic controller, photographer and international yearbook
representative.
Margaret Sanders’ career with Walsworth Publishing Company began
in 1961 and during the subsequent four decades, she traveled the world
assisting schools with the publication of their yearbooks. This exciting
career afforded her the opportunity to develop a close identification
with overseas “American/International” schools and their
diverse and interesting populations. She continues to maintain close
contact with the International Schools community, and while she no longer
travels she enjoys keeping up with her friends from all over the world.
She is now “giving back” to this community which has given
her so many exciting opportunities and personal rewards via a scholarship
foundation through the United Way Foundation of Sarasota County to serve
the international schools in perpetuity.
Mrs. Sanders has been awarding these scholarships for seven years. Past
scholarship winners have come from Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia (2),
Egypt, Ghana, Great Britain, Hungary, Israel, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico,
Pakistan (3), Philippines, Republic of Korea, Russia, Singapore, Spain,
Sultanate of Oman, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan, and Zimbabwe.
