George W. McKibbin Scholarship Fund
George McKibbin was born in 1927 in New York City. He served with the US Navy as a radioman third-class aboard the USS Pennsylvania during World War II, and was a 1951 graduate of Wagner Memorial Lutheran College in Staten Island, NY. Upon graduating, George worked as a branch manager for 3M Company throughout Ohio, New York, and New Jersey until retiring in 1976. George celebrated 28 years of marriage with his wife, Gabriela “Ellen” McKibbin. George and Ellen moved to Lancaster, PA in 1986.
George believed in lifting up students who have historically faced systemic barriers to opportunity and wanted to invest in their potential for leadership and impact. This scholarship is designed to ease financial burdens so recipients can focus more fully on their education and future goals. When establishing the George W. McKibbin Scholarship, it was important to George to support students who reflect the values he held most dear—academic excellence, dedication to community service, and strong family commitment.
George Warren McKibbin passed away at 76 on 3/29/2003, and we are grateful for his vision and generosity.
