Funds > Mark Gallagher Scholarship Fund

This scholarship fund was established in the memory of Mark Gallagher, a young Island resident who dreamed of serving his community as a police officer. 

The scholarship is awarded each year to a student who wishes to pursue a career in law enforcement, criminal justice, or another type of service to the Mackinac Island community.
