MARIETTA, OHIO (SEPTEMBER 27, 2017)—The Washington State College of Ohio (WSCO) Foundation recently recognized 53 students as recipients of $50,000 thousand in scholarship support.
Held in the newly renovated commons area, scholars and donors had the opportunity meet one another and make a more personal connection during a reception prior to the award ceremony.
“Many of our scholars would not be where they are today without the financial assistance provided through our scholarships,” commented Anna Rittenhouse executive director of the WSCO Foundation. “Our donors truly change lives through their generosity and support of our Scholarship Program.”
Among the evening’s speakers was Dr. Mark Nutter, WSCO’s VP of Academic Affairs. He acknowledged the uniqueness of those in attendance, specifically those who support the scholarships. “It’s out of the ordinary to see donors, individuals, businesses, and organizations step up and say ‘I want to invest in the future. And I’m going to do that by setting up scholarships and recognizing students for their effort. I want to pay it forward.’ Many people don’t take time to do that,” he affirmed.
