 We would like to thank all students that applied for The William D. Squires Scholarship in 2008. The scholarships have been awarded for 2008.  Congratulations to our newest recipients!  Recipients   
We wish all seniors the best as you graduate from high school and enter the next phase of your life.

The William D. Squires Educational Foundation, Inc. is a small non-profit family foundation, created solely to offer financial assistance to students from Ohio.  The foundation has awarded 138 scholarships since it's inception in 1999, including 12 scholarships awarded to students in the Class of 2008.  
 
The William D. Squires Scholarship has a value up to $12,000!  The amount of the scholarship award is $3,000 per calendar year and is renewable for three additional years under specified conditions. 

The William D. Squires Scholarship is primarily a financial need based scholarship for graduating seniors from Ohio.  Applicants must have a specific career goal and a burning desire to reach that goal.  The Scholarship Selection Committee will also consider the student's academic promise, character and motivation.

The scholarship selection committee selects recipients on an objective and non-discriminatory basis without regard to race, color, religion or gender.

Over 40 recipients are in school during the 2007-2008 school year.  We are proud to list all 126 names of current and prior recipients.  To view them:  Recipients

William D. Squires was the Foundation's major donor.  What a wonderful legacy.  Many people assume that William passed away prior to the Foundation's inception.  He was actually witnessed the initial phases, the selection process, and even the graduation of our first recipients from the Class of 2000.    If you would like to learn more about William and the Foundation:  About the Foundation. 

Many of the recipients of The William D. Squires Scholarship have told us that it has made a huge difference.  Sometimes the scholarship is the deciding factor between which school to attend.  Sometimes it simply means more study time and less work.  If you would like to learn how you can help students follow their dreams, please visit:  How to donate. 

If you are graduating after 2008, please visit this Web site in December of your senior year.  We hope to continue awarding scholarships for many years.   The details of the scholarship may vary every year and will be announced when this Web site is updated in December. 

Good luck to all seniors in the Class of 2008
and may all your dreams come true!
