The J. Edward and Polly Roush scholarship fund was created in 1997 by a donation from Stanley Matheny and matched by the Lilly Endowment to honor his friends, J. Edward and Polly Roush, and in honor of the centennial of Huntington College. Distributions are directed toward scholarships for Huntington County youth attending Huntington University. This scholarship is administered by the Community Foundation of Huntington County.
