William D. Squires had a dream to help students in his home
state, the great state of Ohio. His dream led to the
creation of The William D. Squires Educational Foundation in
1999. It is a
small non-profit family foundation, created solely to offer
financial need-based undergraduate scholarships to students from Ohio.
The Foundation began awarding scholarships in 2000.
The William D. Squires Scholarship is $3,000 per year and
is renewable up to $12,000.
The number of scholarships have varied with twelve scholarships
awarded to each class since 2005.
Current members of the Foundation are excited and proud to be able to
help 3 additional students this year. Yes, this means a
total of 15 scholarships are being offered to lucky graduates in
the Class of 2012!
The scholarship deadline was April 5th for the
Class of 2012.
If you are graduating in the Class of 2013, and are interested in applying for The
William D. Squires Scholarship, please add a reminder on your
calendar and return to this Web site next year to check your
scholarship eligibility. Since there are minor changes
each year, please be sure to submit the correct application for
your class.
The William D. Squires Scholarship is
primarily financial need-based but ideal applicants have
already selected a career goal and are highly motivated to reach
their goal. The
Scholarship Selection Committee also considers the
student's academic promise.
The
Foundation is pleased to announce that a
total of 174 William D. Squires Scholarships have been awarded
since The Foundation began in 1999. Students are
currently attending about 25 different colleges.
Recipients must be from Ohio but may attend schools outside of
Ohio. To view a complete list of recipients and the schools
they are attending, see
