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.

Bill Snyder’s success is rooted in lessons learned from his mother and is the basis for his 16 principles: commitment, unselfishness, unity, improvement, toughness, self-discipline, great effort, enthusiasm, elimination of mistakes, never giving up, don't accept losing, no self-limitations, expect to win, consistency, leadership, responsibility. Based on one of these 16 principles, write in 750 words or less your motivation for obtaining your education at William Jewell College and your future career plans.
