Commission to draft Wayne High scholarship plan for city-council review
Summary
Members discussed creating a scholarship for Wayne High School juniors and seniors, suggested a $500 award tied to an essay contest, and agreed they will draft a plan and bring it to city council for approval of funding or reporting requirements.
The Huber Heights Military and Business Commission discussed a proposed scholarship for Wayne High School juniors and seniors and agreed to prepare a funding and program plan to present to city council.
Commissioners sketched an essay contest model similar to AMVETS topics and proposed awarding a $500 Sinclair scholarship to the winner. Miss Davis, who works with military families in the local school district, was recommended as a potential liaison for the school and for coordinating student outreach.
Commissioners noted that even if the scholarship were paid from the commission’s budget, city council would need to be informed and may need to approve the expense or required reporting. The commission asked volunteers to draft a plan that includes the scholarship amount, selection criteria, school contact, and a funding source to take to city council. Members said they hope to have a proposal ready for the June meeting and to include a sample logo and packet for review.
The commission discussed logistics such as whether the award will require a formal council appropriation, how winners will be selected and whether the award will be disbursed through local partners such as Sinclair Community College. Commissioners assigned follow-up work to prepare materials for the next meeting so the commission can vote on a final plan before seeking council approval.
