The Urquhart Memorial Foundation was founded in 2002 marking the celebration of the marriage of the founders. Ernest H. Urquhart and Michelle E. Taylor became one Ernest & Michelle Urquhart. They joined hearts, minds, assets and resources to promote of vision of paying it forward to help those who might tread the path of higher education. What better wedding gift to give to givers and support of their giving to the future. They believed that if they modeled the vision of give unto others as has been given to you. Bless them just as He blessed you. We went a step further and invited family, friends and all others to join in this giving vision.
