Mary Coffey Moran '77 Creates Merit Scholarship
Mary Coffey Moran '77 has established the F. Grant Waite and Mary Coffey Moran '77 Merit Scholarship with a gift of $500,000. F. Grant Waite, her partner whom she seeks to memorialize with this gift, died in September 2001 after a short battle with cancer. Waite, a certified public accountant, was an avid sportsman and tennis player. His great great uncle was the 18th president of the United States, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant.
Mary Coffey Moran majored in economics at the College and received a master of science degree in accounting from Northeastern University. She worked as a certified public accountant for Peat Marwick & Co., before becoming senior vice president of Boston Sand & Gravel Co. Currently working as a consultant, Moran lives in Andover, Mass.
Merit-based scholarships, which include tuition and fees, are awarded by the Admissions Office to students of exceptional academic potential—or who possess unusually strong talents. Merit scholarships allow the College to compete more effectively for high-achieving students who could not consider Holy Cross without scholarship support.
