We are pleased to announce that 17 students in Athens, Hocking, Perry and Fairfield counties have been awarded the 2011-12 Jack O. McClenaghan (JOMc) Scholarship.
The scholarships are awarded to first and second year students in the four-county area who are deemed most likely to succeed, based on their application and references and not on financial need. Each JOMc Scholarship recipient is awarded a $1,000 scholarship. Recipients are engaged in a variety of programs including those in the schools of Arts and Sciences; Health and Nursing; McClenaghan Center for Hospitality; Engineering, Computer and Information Technology; and Natural Resources.
The JOMc Scholarship honors Lancaster resident and businessman Jack O. McClenaghan. The McClenaghan Center for Hospitality Training at Hocking College was named in honor of McClenaghan, founder of the JOMc Scholarship Fund and a former chairman of the Hocking College Foundation. The JOMc scholarship was originally created by donations from faculty and staff, and community fundraisers, and now has in excess of $900,000 in the scholarship fund.
"On Jack's behalf, we would like to thank the community, Hocking College and all past and future donors for their ongoing investment in today's students, and tomorrow's future. Jack's dream was to build the scholarship fund to over $1 million and today we have almost reached that mark," Anne Polenchar, JOMc Scholarship Fund Board Member, said.
The 2011 recipients include Tess Cassady of Logan, Jennifer Fisher of McArthur, Shelly Greene of Lancaster, Nicholas Eing of Trimble, Tracey Sortman of Centerville, Joo Yeon Kim of Athens, Kelcie Servers of Dayton, Jessica Merckle of Moxahala, Gabrielle Kruskamp of Pomeroy, Shanika Thompson of Nelsonville, Derek Bycofski of Lancaster, Thomas Polston of Wauseon, Kaitlynn Lent of Glouster, Toni Oskey of Glouster, Rachael Vermillian of Union Furnace, Justin Newton of Chesterhill, and Skyler Everett of New Lexington.
