New scholarship created for first-year students at Marshall School of Medicine

HUNTINGTON -- A new scholarship program has been created for first-year students entering the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. Named in honor of James "Jim" J. Schneider, who retired from the medical school in June, the recipient of the scholarship will be chosen by the school's scholarship committee in conjunction with the Marshall University Financial Aid office.

Schneider served the School of Medicine and University Physicians and Surgeons Inc. for 21 years, finishing his career as the senior associate dean for finance and administration and executive director, respectively.

"Jim was a steady and effective leader during the School of Medicine's expansion to the Marshall University Medical Center in the 1990s," said Linda Holmes, director of development and alumni affairs with the School of Medicine. "He also guided several other multimillion dollar School of Medicine building projects. The formation of this scholarship is quite fitting because of Jim's commitment to our students for so many years."

Gifts may be given to the Schneider scholarship by calling 304-691-1711 or sending an email to holmes@marshall.edu.
