John W. Bean

John W. Bean was a student at North Central College in 1922 and in 1923. When John W. Bean passed away in the late 1980’s, his estate designated funds to establish the John W. Bean Scholarship in memory of his attendance at North Central.

Since the inception of the John W. Bean Scholarship, the scholarship has been awarded to students who are dedicated to “giving back” to society and the college.

Each year the scholarship is awarded to a student, the selected Student Volunteer Coordinator for that year, who embodies an attitude of service to the community and to North Central College AND who has an established, consistent history of volunteerism.
