Marvin’s Garage Doors Scholarship in honor of Marvin Brown

Two scholarships are available for $1,000 each for graduating high school students from Forbush High School and Starmount High School seeking a degree or certificate related to a career in electronics, welding, or construction. In addition to entering these fields, the student may be enrolled either full-time or part-time and must demonstrate financial need, motivation toward his/her career, and good character (trustworthy, respectful, fair, caring, and serves to make better his/her home, school, and community).

This occupational training scholarship honors Marvin Brown, founder of Marvin’s Garage Doors, and is focused on training for careers in the trades such as electronics, construction, or welding. Allen and Chandra are the 3rd generation of husband-wife owners of Marvin’s Garage Doors, founded on the principles of Allen’s grandfather and then further built by his father and mother, Lloyd and Kathy. Those principles center around hard work and superior care for customers. A scholarship seemed the perfect way to honor Marvin and give back to the community that has supported and encouraged their families for more than 100 years.
