For the 11th consecutive year, the Outstanding Women of Clinton County Committee is pleased to offer an academic scholarship to four outstanding young women of Clinton County.

The scholarships are administered by the Outstanding Women of Clinton County Committee and the Clinton County Foundation. Four $1,800 scholarships will be awarded.

One graduating senior girl from each of the four county school districts (Blanchester, Clinton Massie, East Clinton and Wilmington) will be awarded one of the scholarships. Those eligible to apply include home-schooled graduates from their home county school district.

To be eligible, applicants must be planning on attending a community college, a technical school, four-year college or university. Each applicant must demonstrate their commitment to community service and improving the lives of others as well as a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average or a 75 percentile on an ACT or SAT standardized test. ]

The scholarship funds may be used for tuition, room and board, books and other supplies. Interested students should apply online at www.outstandingwomenclintoncounty.org by Dec. 12, 2018. Scholarship recipients will be notified in February and honored at the annual Outstanding Women of Clinton County Awards Ceremony and Luncheon on March 2, 2019.
