$1.7 Million Awarded in Scholarships
Alliance High School recognized 36 seniors with approximately $1.7 million in local scholarships during the annual senior scholarship night held on Monday, May 3.
Approximately 80 organizations and scholarships were represented during the ceremony, including the Alliance High School Foundation who gives over $100,000 in scholarships each year.
Two new scholarships were available for the AHS class of 2021: the Shawn Smith Memorial Scholarship and the Wilson Family Scholarship.
Many students received full-tuition scholarships through two local programs. The Investment Alliance Scholarship provides the top 15 graduating seniors at AHS with scholarships to attend the University of Mount Union for four years. This year nine students accepted the scholarship: Alyssa White, Blayne Reith, Elizabeth Davidson, Jack Penturf, Kamryn Bondoni, Kevin Zurbrugg, Matthew Eversdyke, Natalie Hinkle and Taylor Boschini. The AllianceWorks Scholarship provides graduating seniors who have taken part in a career tech program at AHS with a two-year full tuition scholarship to Stark State. This year the scholarship was awarded to Alexa Phillips.
