Scholarship Details
SCHOLARSHIPS for HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
A majority of the Foundation scholarships are designated for seniors graduating from Ottawa County high schools including Danbury, Genoa, Oak Harbor, Port Clinton, Put-in-Bay and Woodmore. Students are encouraged to work with their school guidance counselors early in their senior year to determine applicable scholarships and prepare the required applications. All scholarship applications must be returned to the school guidance counselor. It is important for applicants to plan ahead, as required attachments need to be a part of the application at the time of submission.
