Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.”

Scholarships are Closed for the Class of 2025
The Jordyn Myers Scholarships will award $20,500 to local students in May of 2025. Students from Stark County or a Federal League School are eligible for the Women in Engineering or Student Athlete Scholarship. Students who could qualify for both should apply to both scholarships to be considered for each scholarship. The Cancer Survivor Scholarship is for a student - either from the Class of 2025 or a current Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior in an accredited institution for higher learning who is from Ohio. The Mighty Like Her Scholarship applicants must come from Jackson High School (Massillon, OH). Best of luck to the Class of '25. Recipients will be announced in May.
