The Kiwanis Club of Wellington continued an annual spring tradition and awarded $1,000 scholarships to three Wellington High School graduates from the Class of 2024 and assisted two scholarship donors in selecting their scholarship awardees.
Receiving Kiwanis Scholarships were Hope Dudziak, Jaclyn Krakomperger, and Alexandria Peck (pictured below). McKenna Solkiewicz and Isabella Waters received Sharon and Gary Moore Scholarships, and Sophia Palmison was given the WHS Class of ’64 Scholarship.
Kindergarten Scholarships
Wellington Kiwanis recently expanded its scholarship efforts by partnering with the Wellington Schools’ Endowment Fund to encourage parents of kindergartners to get an early start on college savings by enrolling in the Ohio Tuition Trust Authority’s College Advantage program. Each year, the Endowment Fund provides up to a 25 percent match not to exceed $250 to each student whose parents contribute to a College Advantage program, and Kiwanis contributes to increase that match in the kindergarten year. If a parent puts in $1,000, the Endowment Fund contributes $250 into that student’s account. This program has been under-utilized but in the past three years nearly 40 students have had savings programs established under this program that is unique to only Wellington.
Wellington Kiwanis invites you to join us at our April 17th meeting. We are meeting at the Wellington Fire District’s Community Room, 202 Kelly St. A light dinner will be served at 5:30 pm, with the program starting at 6 pm.
