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.
