Silver Bell Scholarship
The Silver Bell Scholarship was created to assist students who have beaten the odds. Young people who despite challenging circumstances ( i.e. illness, extreme poverty, disability, foster care, etc.) have enrolled in college and are pursuing their education. We want to assist with a $1000 scholarship. The Silver Bell Scholarship was established in honor of the founder’s mother Lillie Bell Marshall who passed on March 12, 2014. Applications will be accepted March 12th - June 1st. The winner will be announced Monday, July 2nd 2018.
