Marc Obniski Memorial Scholarship Fund The Marc Obniski Memorial Scholarship Fund was created at The Pittsburgh Foundation to provide scholarships to graduates of Highlands High School to pursue engineering degrees. Marc Edward Obniski was born in Natrona Heights where he grew up with great pride in his Polish heritage. He was a graduate of Highlands High School and was a member of the swim team and marching band. He pursued his lifelong desire to be a civil engineer by receiving his degree from Case Western Reserve University, where he was a member of the Zeta Psi fraternity. Marc traveled and lived throughout the United States as he worked on many projects. He had a strong work ethic and was passionate about his career. Marc was a caring son and loyal friend who was known for his generosity. It is in memory of Marc's generous spirit that this memorial scholarship was established.
