Poillon Scholarship
About the John Williams Poillon Memorial Scholarship
The John Williams Poillon Memorial Scholarship was established by the Arthur J. Poillon family in 1965 following the death of their son, John, in an automobile accident on the Centennial Bridge.
At the time, Arthur J. Poillon was a lieutenant colonel assigned as an instructor to the Marine Corps Element of the Command and General Staff College. The scholarship was created as a tribute to John Williams Poillon and as an enduring expression of the Poillon family’s connection to the Fort Leavenworth community.
Major General Poillon entered the Marine Corps in 1945 after graduating from Princeton University. During 35 years of service, he completed assignments in China, Korea, and Vietnam. He graduated from the Command and General Staff College in 1964 and the Army War College.
