05/19/11 The Samuel Elliott Perkins IV Memorial Scholarship was created by Mary Perkins in memory of her husband for the purpose of providing scholarships to Marshall County resident students pursuing a degree from Purdue University.

There will be a number of non-renewable scholarships awarded to students continuing their enrollment at Purdue University as a full time student for the fall of 2011.  Applicants must be a permanent resident of Marshall County, have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, and demonstrate participation in school and extracurricular activities.

Scholarship applications can be obtained on the Marshall County Community Foundation website www.marshallcountycf.org and must be completed and returned to the MCCF office by June 1, 2011.
