2016 SSSF
scholarship applications available
GREENVILLE – Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund scholarship applications
are now available for Darke County students intending to pursue their
college education in a communications-related field this fall.
According to SSSF Directors, most fields involve communication;
applicants must have an understanding of that relationship in their
field.
Applications may be obtained at The Early Bird, 5312 Sebring-Warner
Road, Greenville, or online at www.countynewsonline.org under the
Scholarships tab.
According to President Elaine Bailey, SSSF scholarships are highly
competitive. “For the past two years we’ve had more applicants than
we’ve had funds available,” she said. “The committee looks for more
than just grades,” she added, noting a completed application must also
include community service, honors and awards, offices held, experience
(if any) in intended field of study, a career goal statement and more.
Deadline for receipt is Feb. 26. Completed applications may be dropped
off at The Early Bird or mailed to County News Online, PO Box 1113,
Greenville 45331. Late or incomplete applications will not be
considered.
Scholarships are derived from the generosity of the Darke County
community. In addition to annual donations and support from businesses
and individuals, major contributors in recent years include Al and
Barbara Greiner, Debbie and Darrell Biddlestone, The Bistro Off
Broadway, Greenville Eagles, Dave Knapp Ford and the Delbert
Blickenstaff Memorial.
Bailey recently spoke to members and guests at Kiwanis of Greenville.
“Seven years. Forty youth. $56,000,” she told them, noting the success
of SSSF since its inception in 2009. Forty young people have received
more than $56,000 in scholarships.
Recipients in 2015 were Tara Guillozet (Greenville), Brooke Robinson
(Versailles), Will McCabe (Greenville), John Liette (Ansonia), Brittany
Ulman (Ansonia), Peyton Kreitzer (Arcanum), Nicole Manges (Greenville),
Caroline Prakel (Versailles), Shelby Schepis (Tri-Village), Ally
Russell (Greenville) and Aaron Balsbaugh (Greenville). Scholarships
have been awarded to students from all Darke County high school
districts.
SSSF Directors include Bailey, Al Greiner, Treasurer, Jan Boyer,
Secretary, Gary Young, Deb Shiverdecker and Hershel Fee.
