McMackin Scholarship will support international study

Elon parents Jack and Kathy McMackin of Chevy Chase, Md., have established The McMackin Family Scholarship for International Study to support the university in its goal of becoming a distinctive national model of academic excellence and to provide scholarship aid to worthy Elon students.

The McMackins have been dedicated members of the Parents Council since 2005. Their oldest son, Jack, is a junior at Elon who has benefited from two study abroad experiences. The McMackin Family Scholarship for International Study will be awarded to students pursuing study abroad opportunities during any academic term. Financial need is a requirement.
