The Melinda Nell Marshall Memorial Scholarship was established in 1997 by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph N. Marshall in memory of his twin sister, Melinda Nell Marshall. The Marshalls endowed the scholarship through a joint effort with the Exxon Education Matching Gift Program. Melinda was the daughter of J. Doyle and Miriam Dennard Marshall of Carthage. The scholarship is awarded annually to a deserving Panola College sophomore who is majoring in one of the health occupations.
