General Information


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
.

Scholarship applicants must be from Ohio but may attend colleges outside of Ohio.
  Our recipients are currently attending about 25 different colleges.

The Foundation began awarding scholarships in 2000.
The William D. Squires Scholarship award is $3,000 per year and is renewable up to $12,000. 

The number of scholarships have varied.  We announced 12 scholarships for the Class of 2013 but current members of the Foundation are proud to have been able to award 15 scholarships to this year's graduating class!  A  grand total of 204 students have received The William D. Squires Scholarship.  A list of all recipients is available: Recipients

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 each student's academic promise. 

If you are graduating in the Class of 2014, reside in Ohio, and are interested in applying for The William D. Squires Scholarship, please
be sure to visit this website in January 2014.  Since there are minor changes each year, please be sure to submit the correct application for your class.

 


Recipients are selected on an objective and non-discriminatory basis without regard to race, color, religion or gender. 

William D. Squires was the Foundation's donor.  What a wonderful legacy.  Many people assume that William passed away prior to the Foundation's inception.  He actually witnessed the initial phases, including the selection process, and even the graduation of our first recipients from the Class of 2000.  To learn more about Mr. William D. Squires and this Foundation, see
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 or whether they can live on campus and enjoy the full college experience.  Sometimes it simply means less work and more study time. 

It is truly a joy to help our recipients  follow their dreams.  We hope to continue awarding scholarships for many years.
 

Good luck to all seniors
and may all your dreams come true!
