The Mary Rommel Scholarship
Fund
The Mary Rommel Scholarship Fund has been created to
encourage young people to pursue studies in either of
these two areas: horticulture and the arts.
Mary Rommel was the founder of the Naval Officers Wives
Garden Club in Newport, RI and was a prime mover in
spurring an appreciation of nature in the community.
She also was an early participant in formation of the
annual Christmas in Newport for which she created the
Turtle Frolic, a cultural/historical salute to the colonial
period.
A lover of the arts in all forms, Mary Rommel touched
many lives with her generous spirit and good heart.
This Scholarship honors a unique soul who gave selflessly
to others and pays respect to what she loved most.
Scholarships will be based on available funds that have
been donated. Awards will be made yearly. As the fund
itself grows, so too will the funding level and number
of awards.
