Current recipients may re-apply annually and be awarded a maximum of three scholarships, as long as they remain in good academic standing. The Scholarship awards will be presented by the Arlington County Board in June. Winners will be notified prior to the award presentation.
 
The Mary Marshall Scholarships were established in 1994, to honor Mary Marshall's service to Arlington by supporting county residents with strong commitments to public service to further their education and career goals. Arlington County's Commission on the Status of Women is charged with administering the program and selecting scholarship recipients.

Each comprehensive high school also has a career education specialist who can help you with your search for college scholarships and career information.

The college application process requires advanced planning and research. Plan ahead, attend college fairs, visit colleges, talk to your counselor, and other school staff, watch deadlines, apply for scholarships and most of all, choose the college that is right for you.
