We Are More (WAM)

College Scholarship

As natives of Farrell, and graduates of the 1998 and 1999 classes, respectively, we have a

strong conviction and commitment to build a thriving community and future for the youth of

Farrell. The history of our community dates back to hard-working men and women with a vision

to create a steel industry and build its own community to compensate for its quick rise in

employees and settlers during the late 1800s. Even when others doubted, we have always known

WE ARE MORE. Within ten years we had developed an entire town from the steel mill, to

churches, schools, and opportunities for small businesses.

WE ARE MORE confirms that hard work and education are the foundation of our growth

and necessary for the future of Farrell. The scholarship was established July 22, 2014 by Billie

and Dorothy Robinson Jr., and was first presented May 28, 2015. The purpose of this scholarship

is to encourage students to obtain an education and return back to Farrell with the knowledge and

experience to promote a Godly vision, edification, prosperity, and virtue for future generations.

To quote our predecessors, “The City of Churches is still evolving, and the decline and sudden

death of the little “boom town” will never come” (Mrs. E. H. Broderick & Mrs. B. R. Broderick-

Gibbs). Just like the ancestors of our community, we will continue to push when others don’t

believe, and we will show that WE ARE MORE!
