Throughout his life he was committed to educational opportunities for students in emerging and developing countries.

    The Mary Ellen Whitcomb Endowed Scholarship Fund (NEW)
    This tuition assistance fund is to be established by the family and friends of Mary Ellen Whitcomb, a member of Gonzaga's staff from 1981 to 2001, during which she served in both the Development office and in Campus Ministry.  This fund both helps make a Gonzaga education possible for a deserving Gonzaga student, and honors her memory on Eye Street, where she was instrumental in the introduction and promotion of the Kairos Retreat, which countless Gonzaga students have experienced both during her time at Gonzaga and since.
