Marion Riehl Scholarships
The Marion Riehl Scholarships are awarded annually to Highland dance students at The College of Piping. The intention of the scholarship is to encourage young people to study and participate in the ancient art of Highland dance.
Marion Riehl created these scholarships in recognition of her family's Scottish heritage. Both Mrs. Riehl's mother's and father's ancestors came from Scotland and settled in Prince Edward Island. Her mother, Jennie (Simpson) Humphrey, was a descendant of William and Janet (Winchester) Simpson, who were the very first settlers of Cavendish in 1790. Their log cabin was built by a pond in what today is the Green Gables Golf Course in the National Park.
The Riehl Scholarships recognize excellence in Highland dancing and are awarded to The College of Piping Highland dance students who attain the most points at the Summerside Highland Gathering in each of the competitive levels.
