Jimmy Marvin Memorial Scholarship

     The Marvin family has created this memorial scholarship in honor of their son Jimmy. This can be a five year renewable scholarship which is open to graduating high school seniors. The scholarship can range from $250.00.00 to 1,000.00 per year. We encourage all students to apply !

 

2004 Scholarship Recipients :  The Class of 2004 was the first class to receive The Jimmy Marvin Memorial Scholarship.  Five scholarship were awarded  our first year.  This scholarship is a five year renewable scholarship, and we are proud to say all our young men and women are still eligible and receiving scholarship funds.  We are very proud of each and everyone of these kids !!

   

2005 Scholarship Recipients:  Our second annual Jimmy Marvin Spring Into Life Benefit was a  held on March 18, 2005, and was a huge success.  Due to the success of the benefit we were able to give out seven awards.  The Class of 2005 had a great selection of applicants from which we chose these young men and women. 

 

2006 Scholarship Recipients:  Our third annual benefit was bigger and better than ever.  The guests enjoyed the sounds of The Teen Angels, and a new location, the United Food & Commercial Workers Hall in Madison Hts.  Happy to say it was a success and we were able to award eleven scholarships to The Class of 2006.   

 

2007 Scholarship Recipients:  In 2007 our benefit was another huge success raising over $30,000.00.  The generosity of the community and businesses in Oakland County helped us achieve our goal.  The Class of 2007 was another great bunch of young men and women  well deserving of this scholarship.  Eleven scholarships were awarded on May 21, 2007 for over $8,500.00.  The total in 2007 including renewed scholarships came to over $25,000.00.   The Jimmy Marvin Memorial Scholarship in the past four year has given out over $61,000.00. 

 

2008 Scholarship Recipients:   2008 Benefit was a large success due to the many local businesses, and people who gave generously to our benefit.  Eight scholarships were given to the class of 2008 .  In 2008 we gave out 32 scholarships totaling over $25,000.00.  The Jimmy Marvin scholarship committee would like to wish the graduates of 2008 great success !

 

2009 Scholarship Recipients:  In 2009 our Spring Into Life Benefit raised $18,000.00. With the economy down and Michigan State basketball team playing in the finals the night of our benefit our profits were down 30 percent.  This year we picked five great seniors from Clawson's Class of 2009.  This year we will be giving out over 40 scholarships dating back to the Class of 2005. Some scholarship recipients will receive reduced amounts due to the drop in donations. Hopefully the 2010 benefit will have greater success.  We had many applicants for this scholarship and we feel bad we couldn't help more this year, but congratulations to all of the Class of 2009.

2010 Scholarship Recipients:   Our 2010 Spring Into Life Benefit raised $27,900.00 and with a successful Clawson Pub Crawl in 2009 we raised an additional $1,400.00.  This year we had 15 applicants for our scholarship.  We awarded 8 to the Class of 2010 and will renew 30 to past scholarship recipients.   The Jimmy Marvin scholarship committee would like to wish the graduates of 2010 great success !
