Marionetta Snyder Scholarship Application

The Marionetta Snyder Scholarship is designated for a prospective female student with one $2,500 scholarship per academic year. William D. Snyder, former head football coach at Kansas State University and a 1962 Jewell graduate, established this scholarship in honor of his mother who, at 4-feet 9, was the toughest mentally and physically strong person he’s ever known. Marionetta Owens Snyder was a single mom who worked 12 hours a day, six days a week, and slept on a cot in their one-room apartment, saving everything she could for Bill’s education. This scholarship is in recognition of her unwavering devotion to provide the best of opportunities for those she loved.
