Student Public Service Scholarship Auction

2011 Public Interest Auction - March 24, 2011 - 4-9pm Student Lounge

The annual Student Public Service Scholarship Auction raises scholarship money for those students who choose a life of public service. The entire John Marshall community: student, faculty, staff, and alumni attend this annual fundraiser. In 2010 we raised $15,000 and in 2011 we raised $17,000, so the goal this year is to raise more than $18,000.
