Nathan Foundation Scholarship

The Nathan Foundation was created following the instructions in the will of Milford Nathan, who died in 1953. Known for his business acumen, Milford Nathan also was a civic leader. For many years, he was chairman of the board for the Cambridge Hospital, an active Mason and chairman of the board for the Farmers and Merchants National Bank. Later the foundation was supported further from the estates of Estelle Nathan, Milford’s wife who died in 1960, and Bertha Nathan, Milford’s sister who passed away in 1983.The Nathan Foundation has been investing in SU students for over 35 years, providing well over 1.45 million dollars in financial assistance to more than 175 Dorchester County scholars. SU is the Nathan Foundation’s largest educational beneficiary, transforming the lives of our students for generations to come. They are a member of SU’s Sea Gull Society, which honors those who have given $100,000 or more to the University. The Nathan Foundation is by far the largest charitable organization in Dorchester County and is permanently funded for the foreseeable future.
