Developing our youth is vital to the future. In an effort to do our part in supporting this development, Osgood Bank provides scholarship funding to area schools to be awarded to local high school graduates. In 2022, five schools received scholarship donations - Marion Local, Fort Loramie, Indian Lake, Versailles, and Tri-Star Career Compact.
Each school system manages their donations and award scholarships differently. They all evaluate various criteria to award funds to their students. Most review grade point average, financial need, and acts of community service performed by the applicant.
Here's a summary of the 2022 scholarship awards that Osgood Bank contributed to:
