The Joseph E. Hagan Memorial Scholarships, established in 2000 by the Board of Trustees of the Funeral Service Foundation, honor one of funeral service's finest directors, Joseph E. Hagan, through annual scholarships of $1,000 each to two mortuary science school students.

Full-time students (who will be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in the Fall 2008 semester) in programs accredited by the American Board of Funeral Service Education are eligible.

Judges from the FSF Board of Trustees evaluate students based on an essay. The 2008 essay question was:

Describe your role-model in funeral service.
How will you be a role-model for others when you are a funeral director, and how will you work to recruit talented individuals to the profession?

APPLICATIONS FOR 2008 ARE CLOSED.

Scholarship applications for 2009 will be available in January 2009.
