Aultman Youth
Development and Advancement Scholarships Now Offered
Now accepting applications for the Aultman Youth Development and
Advancement Scholarships. This is the inaugural year that the Matt and
Morgan Aultman Family will be offering TWO scholarships for the
specific advancement and support of students looking to further their
education in the fields of political science, business, or at a skills
driven trade school. We believe that in the future our county
will need shrewd business people and skilled workers so we are offering
these two very different scholarships.
The first of two $500.00 scholarships will be available to students
graduating from a Darke County high school in 2016 and entering college
to study business, business management, or political science. Business
is the backbone to the Darke County community and in the future will
require people of this skill set to someday continue running the
business that are found here.
The second $500.00 scholarship will be available to 2016 Darke County
graduating high school students continuing their education at a trade
school or in a trade program. Not everyone desires a four year
education and are more tactile with their skill sets. This is an
opportunity for students going into programs such as welding,
carpentry, masonry, dental assisting, CNC technician, or related field
to receive monetary assistance for this education path.
Matt and Morgan Aultman have been supportive of their community and the
advancement of youth in the past several years. They are advisors for
4-H, have helped with FFA Alumni programs, and assisted with class
programs and after school activities. It is their hope that what is
done today will transfer to a better tomorrow for our community.
You may ask why now and why these specific continuing education
programs. The NOW part came when Matt decided to run for Darke County
Commissioner and assessed the expenditures associated with the run for
that office. Like the farmers they are or any other good business
people, before spending money they look at the whole picture of the
money spent versus the return and overall benefit. They decided that
whether or not the campaign was successful they wanted to make a
positive impact on the community. Matt and Morgan believe there
is no better way to do this than helping the youth of the community;
they have decided to use part of their personal finances to set up
these two scholarships instead of purchasing yard signs for the primary
election campaign. This is a continuation of their long lasting
commitment to youth and Darke County. The Aultman’s hope it will yield
talented and trained individuals returning to our community to fill the
shoes of those who are currently running businesses, working in public
service jobs, and working for community programs.
The Aultman’s have learned through many programs, activities, and
teachings that one of the most effective ways to “make the best better”
is to instill that sense into the next generation and provide
opportunities for them to grow and flourish. They wish to leave a
lasting impression on the next generation and leave Earth in better
condition than when we inherited it, this is their small attempt at
doing that.
