Impact

The Lucy Detig Student Success Endowment Scholarship Fund was established in 2012 by Raymond Detig, in memory of his wife, Lucy to provide an annual scholarship for full time and/or part-time College of Southern Maryland (CSM) students who are Charles County residents and are graduates of the General Education Development or the National External Diploma program at the Charles County Lifelong Learning Center, where Lucy worked for many years.
