The Antwerp VFW Post 5087 presented the following seniors with scholarships: Alyvia Devore, Heather Oberlin, Julia Steiner, and Alex Philips. The amount was increased this year according to presenter, Keith West. In recent years, the amount had been $500 for each senior and this year the amount was increased by 100% to $1000. Over the last 10 years, since the scholarship program was created, the Antwerp VFW post 5087 has given away over $25,000.
This donation comes from the Ohio Charities account that all Ohio VFW are required to be a part of. Each year seniors may apply for this local grant from the Antwerp VFW and it’s quite simple. Upcoming seniors, will want to contact Antwerp’s Guidance Counselor, Diana Hammer, for more information. It’s never too early to start planning your future.
Diana Hammer stated that she was very thankful to the Antwerp VFW and all of the scholarship contributors who make the young people’s future education possible in our area. If you would like to have a scholarship available to students in the Antwerp School district, you need to contact Diana Hammer and she can help get this setup for your organization.
