The Don Horrall Scholarship, in memory of Don Horrall, who was one of the original members and the first President of the Wabash Valley College Foundation, was established to encourage study in engineering, electronics or math.

Bob Horrall and his wife, Frances, made this scholarship possible through a generous donation to the Foundation in memory of his father, Don.
