PR - Marion Announces 9th Year for ARM Scholarship

In 1999, Houston-based Marion Financial Corp. established an annual scholarship for participants in the accounts receivable management industry.  The goal of the scholarship program is to assist with funding the education of employees, or the children of employees, who work in the accounts receivable management industry.  Since its inception, scholarships have been awarded to 21 students.

The 2008 scholarships will consist of two grants of $4,000 each to graduating high school seniors who wish to pursue further education.  To be eligible, the student must be an employee or the child of a parent who is employed in the accounts receivable management industry (U.S. companies that are collection agencies, billers, debt buyers, receivable outsourcing companies & trade associations that directly apply to the credit & collections industry).

Eligible employees or their children may review the rules and print a copy of the scholarship application at http://www.marionfinancial.com.  For more information, contact Hayley Flores, Marion Financial Scholarship Committee by phone at (713) 988-8000 ext. 10, or flores@marionfinancial.com.  Applications must be postmarked by March 31, 2008.
