February 23, 2026

The Marshall University Foundation has announced a $25,000 gift toward the Jeff Nathan Scholarship within the W. Page Pitt School of Journalism and Mass Communications. The donors of the gift wish to be anonymous.

Jeff Nathan was a junior from Parkersburg, West Virginia, who served as sports editor for The Parthenon, Marshall’s student newspaper. Nathan is one of the 75 individuals who died on Nov. 14, 1970, as the Marshall football team, coaches, fans and flight crew were traveling back to West Virginia after a game against East Carolina University.
