Belville named as 4-H scholar
IRONTON − Ohio Valley Bank recently announced the expansion of the bank’s 4-H scholarship program to Lawrence County.

The four-year scholarship, which totals $3,000, is presented in $750 installments each year the recipient remains eligible.

Brea Belville, daughter of Shannon and Brigette Belville, was named the 2022 Lawrence County scholar. Belville is a graduate of Symmes Valley High School and a member of the Teen Leaders 4-H Club and the Junior Fair Board and served as this year’s fair queen. She plans to attend Marshall University this fall to study business/finance.

OVB Lawrence County Region Manager Terri Taylor presented Belville with her first $750 check during a special presentation at the Lawrence County Fair. The announcement coincides with the addition of the OVB Ironton location, which is set to open later this summer.

Created in 1986, for more than 30 years the Ohio Valley Bank 4-H Scholarship Program has recognized outstanding high school seniors for their accomplishments in 4-H. Winners are determined by 4-H advisors and volunteers. Involvement in 4-H accounts for 50 percent of the decision, while the other half considers the individual’s experiences in various groups and activities as well as academic accomplishments and potential for success.
