The Marietta Civitan Club recently awarded $1,000 scholarships to three 2024 Washington County graduating seniors to help them continue their education.
With these awards, the Club continues a scholarship program that has benefitted students since 1969.
Seniors from all six Washington County high schools were eligible to apply for these scholarships.
Each applicant was required to complete an application and submit an essay and references. Finalists were then interviewed by the scholarship committee.
Recipients were chosen based on a number of criteria, including school and community activities, scholarship and need.
The following are the 2024 recipients:
¯ Isabella Becker, a graduate of Marietta High School, was awarded the Ken Coffman Memorial Scholarship. She is the daughter of Christopher and Tiffany Becker and will use the scholarship to further her studies in biology at Ohio University.
¯ Emma Snyder, daughter of Kevin Snyder, Jennifer Snyder (deceased) and Judith Gilham, received the Charlie Thrash Memorial Scholarship.
A graduate of Fort Frye High School, she will be attending either The Ohio State University or Kent State University to major in architecture and minor in historical preservation in the fall.
¯ Kaden Dowler is the recipient of the Art Jones Memorial Scholarship. Dowler, a Fort Frye graduate, is the son of T.J. and Kim Dowler and will be going to The Ohio State University to study nursing.
