BUCYRUS— The Bucyrus Rotary Club has recently chosen this year’s winner of the Memorial Scholarship, Kearston Hulsmeyer.

Hulsmeyer is a 2021 graduate of Wynford High School and will be attending Rhodes State College in Lima this fall to obtain her associate’s degree in dental hygiene.

“It is wonderful to see so many of our local students committed to community service and the betterment of our community overall.  Kearston exemplifies this and is very deserving of this scholarship,” said President of the Bucyrus Rotary Club and a member of this year’s scholarship committee, Ronda Scott.

Also serving on the scholarship committee this year were Jim Spreng and John Kime, Jr.

The Bucyrus Rotary Club Memorial Scholarship honors former Bucyrus Rotary Club members who exemplify the Rotary Club commitment, “Service Above Self.” This $1,000 scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior or graduate of Bucyrus High School, Wynford High School, Colonel Crawford High School or a student from any one of those schools attending Pioneer Career & Technology Center. It is available ONLY to students pursuing an associate degree. Recipients are decided by the Bucyrus Rotary Club Scholarship Committee and awarded to a student who has exhibited “Service Above Self” through a submitted essay and interview process.  The Community Foundation for Crawford County accepts applications for this scholarship each year, and their online application opens in November and the deadline is the first of March.
