Scholarships and donations

The MARK ROBERT BOUCHER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS were established to continue Mark's legacy of friendship and generosity.  Mark saw great value in higher education.  As a graduating scholarship recipient himself, he was able to attend and graduate from Bowdoin College. Mark cherished his high school and college days, but most importantly the lifelong friends he made along the way.

Thanks to the generosity of so many The Mark Robert Boucher Memorial Fund has granted $177,000 to date, supporting students from Mark’s communities.
