Margaret Ellen Rickard Scholarship

Margaret Ellen Rickard was the second child of Margaret Vernon Rickard. In her brief twenty years from 1945-1965, she lived to serve others. Her aim was to master and teach the French language in a Seventh-day Adventist school where students prepare for lives of service. She studied her fist year at La Sierra College and successfully completed her second year at the Seminaire Adventiste du Saleve in France. After passing the French Government national examinations, she and three other female students decided to complete their year abroad program with a short visit to Spain. On their return trip, she and two of the girls were killed in an automobile accident while one girl survived. Because of her desire to serve, this endowment has been established in her honor to aid students in the pre-nursing program.
