0

The Clinton County Business Advisory Council (BAC), under stewardship of the Southern Ohio Educational Service Center, is pleased to announce its campaign for donations for its 2019 Integrity Scholarships for graduating high school seniors in Clinton County.

Due to the generosity of many Clinton County businesses, eight students of the graduating class of 2017-2018 each received a Business Advisory Council scholarship in the amount of $750 to help with their career preparation expenses during the 2018-2019 school year.

Recipients of last year’s scholarships included Brant Bandow from Blanchester High School, Noah Brausch and Hailey Stinchcomb from Clinton-Massie High School, Shelby Williams from East Clinton High School, and Ridgeden Beam, Sophia Reed, Colton Smith, and Matthew Smith from Wilmington High School.

First begun in 1998, the Business Advisory Council has supported Clinton County students with 142 scholarships totaling $70,450 over the last 20 years.

Area businesses, both small and large, are invited to help make this scholarship possible for members of the high school graduating class of 2019. BAC scholarship recipients are selected based on the applicant’s virtues, including ethics, behaviors, attitude, ambition, and academic promise.

Seniors from the county’s four public high schools and homeschool students are eligible to apply. The awards may be used for college expenses, technical courses, and special licenses to help start a rewarding career.

The Integrity Scholarships help to make the cost of post-secondary education more affordable while also helping to grow the future workforce for area businesses. The Clinton County Foundation administers the scholarship fund.
