Welcome to Charlottesville Babe Ruth League

Charlottesville Babe Ruth League

The Marr Scholars Fund


            



Since 2000 the Marr Scholars Fund has provided four years of college assistance to support 22 graduating seniors who played Babe Ruth baseball in Charlottesville. The fund provides $2500 an academic year for a four-year total of $10,000.  

The Marr Scholars Fund honors the lives of two brothers – John D. (left) and Richard T. (right) Marr – who dedicated their lives and careers to the crucial contribution that a well-rounded education and healthy athletic competition provides to a rich life. John D. “Jack” was the president of the Lane Babe Ruth League in Charlottesville at the time of his death.

Previous Marr Scholars from Charlottesville have attended the University of Virginia, Christopher Newport, Virginia Commonwealth, University of Richmond, Virginia Tech, James Madison, Savannah College of Arts & Design, Hampden Sydney, Duke, Elon, Oberlin, and Haverford.

The criteria for selection of a Marr Scholar are academic achievement, character and citizenship, financial need, and plans to matriculate in a four-year college or university each fall.

Applications for this year are due online on June 12, 2023.  To enter the competition, please complete this online application. Required material include a one-page essay, high school resume, letter of college acceptance, financial aid sheet from college, and two letters of recommendation.

Please write Tim Marr, Trustee, at [email protected] with questions.
