Molly Rodriguez of Old Forge, a second year student at Lemoyne College and St. Joseph’s College of Nursing, is this year’s recipient of the Mary Russell Continuing Education Scholarship which is provided by the Old Forge American Legion Post 183 Ladies Auxiliary.

Each year the auxiliary awards the scholarship to a student pursuing higher education—be it college, technology school, graduate or trade school—following high school.

It is named in honor of late auxiliary member Mary Russell, a proponent of continuing education.
