About The Arthur A. Armbrust Scholarship Loan Fund
Arthur "Art" Armbrust, a native of Portsmouth's Boneyfiddle area, forged a lifelong bond with the First Presbyterian Church, a place that nurtured his early years. Despite living in various communities throughout his career, Art's connection with the church never waned. In 1982, he established the Arthur A. Armbrust Scholarship Loan Fund, reflecting his deep commitment to education and community support. This fund, further enriched by Art's endowment upon his passing in 1998, continues to empower Portsmouth's perspective undergraduate students, embodying his enduring legacy of generosity and support for education.
We understand the challenges of funding educational aspirations, and it is our goal to ease this burden, allowing students to focus on what truly matters – their academic and personal growth.
This revolving student loan program is administered under the authority of the Board of Session of First Presbyterian Church, 221 Court Street, Portsmouth Ohio.
