Mary E. and Walter C. Rybolt College Scholarship

The Mary E. and Walter C. Rybolt College Scholarship was created through the estate of Walter Rybolt to benefit graduating high school students from Delaware County, Ohio attending colleges or universities other than Ohio Wesleyan University. Walter Rybolt, owner of Rybolt Production Products, was a member of the Delaware City Council for six years and served as chairman of Red Cross. Mrs. Rybolt volunteered for Red Cross and was the residential chairman of United Way. Both Walter and Mary graduated from Ohio Wesleyan and were longtime residents of Delaware, Ohio. This scholarship supports graduating high school seniors from Delaware County who are pursuing full-time post-secondary education at accredited public or nonprofit independent colleges or universities in the United States. The scholarship has a minimum award amount of $500 and requires candidates to maintain a minimum 3.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale. The scholarship rotates between Delaware County high schools, and in 2026, candidates must attend Genoa Christian Academy.
