Bob Evans and Wayne White
The Bob Evans and Wayne F. White Legacy Scholarship was established by family and friends of the two, including Bob’s wife, Jewell Evans (both she and her husband Bob founded the original Wayne White Scholarship) to honor the legacy and commitment these two friends had to the Appalachian Ohio region.
White, born and raised in Appalachian Ohio, and Evans, who launched the Bob Evans Farm and Restaurants in Appalachian Ohio, believed deeply in the academic ability and potential of the region’s students to succeed, no matter the place or the purpose. The White/Evans Scholarship serves to help all students’ realize they can pursue post-secondary education, regardless of financial situation.
