Joe and Marilyn Henry of Huntingdon Valley have pledged a gift to permanently endow a part-time graduate scholarship at Penn State Great Valley.

They committed $50,000 for the Joseph P. and Marilyn H. Henry Part-Time Graduate Scholarship at Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies.

As former graduate students themselves, the Henrys know the challenge of balancing coursework with a full-time career and family. And for Marilyn, as a career educator, it is important to support graduate students in pursuit of their professional aspirations.

“Marilyn and I are proud to contribute toward a scholarship that will not only benefit Great Valley students immediately, but also for years to come,” said Joe. “As a Penn Stater, I know what it means to be educated by the university, and I understand the rigor and reputation of Great Valley’s programs. I hope that by subsidizing the cost of tuition, we’ll see more graduates take on leadership roles in area businesses and the local community.”

“I am grateful to Joe and Marilyn Henry for creating this scholarship, which will place advanced degrees in reach of ambitious, hard-working students,” said James Nemes, chancellor and chief academic officer of Penn State Great Valley.
