The Marion G. Resch Science ScholarshipMeet the Resch Foundation

The Resch Foundation was established in 2000, in memory of the late Mrs. Marion G. Resch, an upstanding

member of the Mahoning Valley community and a philanthropist. During her life, Mrs. Resch always held education

in special regard. True to her legacy, the Resch Foundation is committed to promoting the education of young people

throughout the Mahoning Valley.

What is the Resch Science Scholarship?

Beginning in 2006, the Resch Science Scholarship Program at Thiel College has provided college funding

opportunities to young adults from the Mahoning Valley. The scholarships are awarded to high school students who

have shown both interest and promise in their academic performance in science and have made commendable efforts

in other subjects as well. The scholarship applies to students committed to earning a bachelor’s degree in biology,

chemistry, environmental science, neuroscience, communication sciences and disorders, or physics. Secondary

education majors with a concentration in the sciences also will be considered.

The scholarship provides partial tuition funds after all other possible scholarship, grants and other tuition reduction

programs have been applied.
