SUMMARY:Herzberg-Wild Scholarships Closes
DESCRIPTION:The Lance Corporal Eric William Herzberg and Lance Corporal William Taylor Wild IV Scholarship (Herzberg-Wild Scholarship) was established at the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County (CFAAC) in 2014 by anonymous donors to honor two fallen Marines\, Eric W. Herzberg and Taylor Wild IV\, who were both Anne Arundel County residents. Successful applicants will demonstrate their adherence to the Marine Corps values of Honor\, Courage and Commitment\, their ability to persist in the face of significant personal obstacles\, and their ability to provide quiet leadership in their school and home community.   \nIn 2024\, the Herzberg-Wild Scholarship supports graduating Anne Arundel County Public School high school seniors by awarding one $10\,000 scholarship to a qualified and deserving student each year. Eligible education expenses include tuition\, fees\, books\, equipment and/or tools associated with a specific academic or trades training program. \n  \n\n\n\nEric W. Herzberg Eric was born on June 7\, 1986 at Madigan Army Hospital at Ft. Lewis\, Washington. Eric was very creative and enjoyed reading books. As a young boy he would build elaborate designs with Legos and action figures. Eric had a great sense of humor and loved to have fun with his friends. He enjoyed playing soccer\, rugby\, and pick-up football games. Eric loved being part of a team and did not like attention to be focused on him. He was extremely proud of his Irish Catholic heritage and his faith in God was very important to him. He deeply loved his family and friends and was especially close to his brother and sister. In high school\, Eric felt called to become a Marine and joined the United States Marine Corps immediately upon graduation. Eric dedicated his life to protecting and defending our country. Eric was killed in action in Al Anbar\, Iraq on October 21\, 2006. Eric’s advice to a graduating senior would be to “Listen to your heart and follow what you feel God calling you to do.” \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nLCPL Taylor Wild\, IV Taylor adored his younger sister and made it his priority to spend time with her whether it was jumping on the trampoline or on a trip to the Baltimore Aquarium. He shared his passion for baseball with his younger brother; they could always be found together throwing a baseball or football in the backyard. He played baseball from age 5 through high school. Taylor’s mother was one of his favorite teammates whether it was volleyball\, bocce or pickleball. His father was his role model and he shared Taylor’s wish of Taylor joining the police department as a career. Taylor can be described by his tattoos that he collected over time. They represent what was so important to him that he wanted to show the world\, forever. His first tattoo of a symbol of the 1st Battalion\, 9th Marines was to show respect to the United States Marine Corps that helped him build knowledge\, be part of an intense brotherhood\, travel\, and develop the confidence that comes with a big smile. His second tattoo\, a quote from Albus Dumbledore\, “Death is but the next great adventure.” offered a glimpse into what was important to him as a kid. When Taylor got his next tattoo of a swallow flying over the ocean\, his younger sister asked what it meant. He said “A swallow is a bird that can always find its way home\, and this means I will always find my way back to you.” His last tattoo of an Oriole bird represented his passion and his home. Taylor deployed to both Afghanistan and Kuwait. Taylor died in a mortar explosion during a training exercise at Hawthorne Army Depot on March 18\, 2013. \n\n\n2024 SCHOLARSHIP ELIGIBILITY AND CRITERIA: \nApplicant must be an Anne Arundel County public high school senior with a minimum 2.5 grade point average and plans to enter an accredited 2 or 4-year public or private college or university or professional\, technical or trades school in fall 2024.
