The Herzberg – Wild Scholarship Fund

Established in honor of Lance Corporal Eric Herzberg, USMC, and Lance Corporal William Taylor Wild, IV, USMC. Both were proud U.S. Marines who dedicated their lives to protecting and defending our country. Eric joined the Marine Corps right after graduation. He was killed in action in Al Anbar, Iraq on October 21, 2006. Taylor deployed to both Afghanistan and Kuwait. He died in a mortar explosion during a training exercise at Hawthorne Army Depot on March 18, 2013.

Two $10,000 scholarships will be awarded in April to graduating Anne Arundel County Public High School students who exhibit the Marine Corps values of Honor, Courage and Commitment, the ability to persist in the face of significant personal obstacles, and the ability to provide quiet leadership in their school and/or community.

Completed applications must be submitted to the CFAAC office by Friday, April 6th, and finalists will be interviewed by the selection committee on Monday, April 25th at Severna Park High School.
