HOUSTON — Marion Financial Corp. is pleased to announce that two high school seniors have each been awarded a $5,000 scholarship for the 2010–2011 academic years.  The recipients of the eleventh annual Marion Financial Corp. Scholarship Award are:

Emily Stephens, whose father is employed at Resurgent Capital Services, plans to attend Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.

Alfred von Krusenstiern, whose father is employed at Coface Collections North America, Inc., is finalizing his options regarding several colleges and universities.

The purpose of the Marion Scholarship is to provide assistance to further the educational development of students who have an affiliation with the Accounts Receivable Management Industry.  The competition for this year’s awards was open to the graduating class of 2010 high school students who are employed, or the child of an employee, in the Accounts Receivable Management Industry.

The Marion Scholarship is for high school seniors beginning their first year at any accredited public or private college, university or trade school.  To apply, students were asked to complete an application form and submit an essay entitled “Why Further Education is Important to Me."  The recipients were selected based on their essay, grade point average and extra-curricular activities.

Marion Financial Corp. would like to extend their gratitude to judges Dan Desatnick, and Loraine Lyons for their continued commitment to the scholarship selection process.
