J. WENDELL MARVIN SCHOLARSHIP

On July 10, 1817, Sylvanus and Lebbeus Marvin settled in the southeast area of AndoverTownship. The Marvin family has owned and farmed this land continuously, thereby, participating in the growth and improvement of the Andover area.

As a result, it was J. Wendell Marvin’s wish that his family’s assets assist the area’s future generations of young students in their educational pursuits and college careers. Because of this desire, J. Wendell Marvin established the J. Wendell Marvin Trust which provides financial assistance in the form of educational scholarships to deserving PymatuningValley students.

At this time the number of scholarships has not been determined.

The scholarship committee shall be comprised of seven members: a member of the Pymatuning Valley Local School Board of Education, a member of the Andover Rotary Club, an education-minded resident of the Pymatuning Valley Local School District, the Pymatuning Valley High School principal, a guidance counselor, a mathematics or science instructor, and an English or foreign language instructor.
