Class of 2022 Awarded JA Scholarships

With the end of the school year in sight, high school seniors are preparing for a lot of new: schools, cities, friends, and jobs. Junior Achievement of North Central Ohio (JANCO) is proud to partner with graduates as they take their first steps into the future.

Thanks to generous supporters, JANCO offered two scholarships, the Dave Rowekamp & Wooster Brush Company Memorial Scholarship and the JA of North Central Ohio Scholarship, to graduating seniors with previous JA program involvement. Students shared how JA’s financial- and career-focused curriculum impacted their future goals.

“We are honored to celebrate the outstanding achievements of the class of 2022,” said Lori McCleese, President. “Being an impactful part of their unique academic journeys is our mission. All the recipients highlighted what it means to be enterprising, civic-minded individuals in their high school careers and extracurricular activities. In short, they exemplify what Junior Achievement programs strive to foster.”
