Herbert B. Nickell, II Memorial Scholarship Fund

Scholarship Description:
  • Graduating senior at Northwest or Wheelersburg High School, Scioto County, Ohio
  • Enroll at the Ohio State University
The Herbert B. Nickell, II Memorial Scholarship Fund provides scholarship assistance to a graduating senior at Northwest or Wheelersburg High School that will attend Ohio State University.

Herbert B. Nickell, II was born on October 23, 1944 to the late Herbert B. Nickell and Zona Jones Nickell. His childhood years were spent on a small farm on McDermott Pond Creek Road in McDermott, Ohio.

Nickell graduated from Northwest High School in 1962 and was a member of the first class to graduate in the "new high school". In 1967, he earned his BS in Zoology from the Ohio State University, and in 1971 received a doctorate of dental science from OSU.  

Upon graduation, Nickell returned to Scioto County with his wife Nancy H. Nickell and their four daughters. He began his practice of dentistry in Wheelersburg and continued to practice for 30 years. Nickell's daughter Jacqueline joined the practice in 1994. 

Nickell believed strongly in education beyond high school. He often said, "You can not compete in this world without all of the education possible." 

Nickell passed away in late 2001. He was grateful for the education he received from so many wonderful teachers in the Northwest district and was proud of the education and preparation for college that his four daughters received while attending Wheelersburg schools. His family wishes to continue his belief in education for young people through the Scioto Foundation.
