Eight college
scholarships presented at SSSF Awards Banquet
Organization announces name change
GREENVILLE – The Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund presented scholarships
on April 28 to eight Darke County students either just getting started
with, or continuing, their college education. According to SSSF
President Elaine Bailey, this brings the organization’s total
scholarship support to nearly $67,000 for 67 recipients.
“The first scholarship was awarded in 2009,” she told attending
recipients, guests and board members. “This could not happen without
the generous support of our sponsors.”
She noted six-year supporters Darrell and Debbie Biddlestone, five-year
supporters Ted and Diana Abney, three-year-supporters Al and Barbara
Greiner and the County News Online sponsors who have helped provide
scholarship funds since 2011.
“The scholarship committee considers the applicant’s ability to explain
educational goals and career expectations in a written essay,” she
said. “The applicant’s academic achievement and level of participation
in public communications and community service are also part of the
judging process.
“On behalf of the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund, I invite you to join
me in celebrating the academic ambition of these young people who will
each receive $1,000 to help defray a portion of their college
expenses,” she concluded.
The 2016 recipients are:
Hannah Coakley, Greenville High School, who will be attending Indiana
Wesleyan University for Communications and Youth Ministries.
Seryn Crawford, Greenville High School, who will be attending Ball
State University for Dietetics.
Bryant Fox, Ansonia High School, who will be attending the University
of Findlay, pursing an agriculture-related degree.
Olivia Herron, Greenville High School, who will be attending Miami
University for Strategic Communications.
Will McCabe, Greenville High School, who is attending Ohio Northern
University for the Ministry.
Nicole Manges, Greenville High School, who is attending Huntington
University for English Literature and Writing.
Brook Robinson, Versailles High School, who is attending Ohio
University for Journalism and Theater.
Brittany Ulman, Ansonia High School, who is attending Ball State
University for Creative and Professional Writing.
Following the presentations Bailey announced SSSF will henceforth be
known as the Darke County Scholarship Fund. DCSF is a 501c3
not-for-profit and will be continuing to enhance its support throughout
Darke County. The organization has provided scholarship help to
students from all Darke County school districts.
DCSF Directors in attendance included Bailey, Al Greiner, Gary Young,
Jan Boyer, Deb Shiverdecker and Kathleen DeLand. Also in attendance was
Honorary Director and CNO Editor Bob Robinson.
The annual awards event was held at The Bistro Off Broadway, with music
provided by Bill Westfall and JR Price.
