Arlington School Foundation - Rod and Pam Russell Family Scholarship

Go Back to Filtered List | Search Again Give to this Fund

The Rod and Pam Russell Family Scholarship was established by the Russell family in memory of Pam Russell. Rod and Pam were married for 46 years before her passing in 2016, and they had three children: Mark, Jon, and Amy.
Pam’s passion in life was her family. She was a loving, caring, supporting wife, mother, and grandmother. She rarely missed a sporting event or program for her kids and grandkids. She supported Rod’s career and spent countless hours attending events at the schools where he worked.
The purpose of this scholarship is to provide a scholarship to an Arlington Local School senior who would not qualify for most academic or athletic awards, but who has demonstrated hard work and community/volunteer service.
