Applications Being Accepted for Russ Bolin Memorial Scholarship
ZANESVILLE, Ohio – A Zanesville area community organization is now
accepting applications for a scholarship awarded to a high school
senior each year. Applications for The Russ Bolin Memorial
Scholarship are due in about two months and are to be sent to the
Kiwanis Club of Zanesville. Kevin Pinson, Secretary of the Kiwanis
Club, says Bolin was a member of the organization who maintained
community service as a core value throughout his life.
“Russ was a very
active member of our club—he actually had 45 years of perfect
attendance. Very community service oriented; so we created this
scholarship in his honor—and we’re looking for a graduating
senior who shares his ideals of community service. So, anyone who’s
interested can apply by March 20th and they’ll be in the
running for a $1,000 college scholarship.”
An applicant’s GPA
will be taken into account; however, community service and
involvement will be the main deciding factor.
“We will look at
grade point averages; but we are most heavily focused on their
community service. We’ve found that the local high schools—they
encourage community service; and then several youth
organizations—from Boy Scouts to Key Clubs also promote it.”
The Russ Bolin
Memorial Scholarship is funded through the Annual Kiwanis Club
Fathers Day Weekend 5K. Applications can be sent to
zanesvillekiwanis@gmail.com.
