The League of Women Voters of Benton and Franklin Counties is sponsoring three scholarships to be awarded to local students to honor Marilyn Perkins, a long-time member of the local League, who passed away in 2021. Marilyn’s husband, John, donated funds to provide these scholarships over a 5-year period. Marilyn was a former teacher and a passionate civic education advocate.  Additional funds have been donated by friends and local League members to continue this program.

This year LWV-BF will be awarding three $2000 scholarships.
