awarded for Academic & Athletic Excellence
Dave Knapp Ford joins the County News Online Business Scholarship
Program
Jenna Dowler, Greenville High School, and Evan Barger, Tri-Village High
School, received the first annual Dave Knapp Business Scholarship for
Academic & Athletic Excellence. The presentation was part of the
Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund’s Business Scholarship Program.
Dowler and Barger were recognized for their individual efforts in the
classroom and in the field of athletics. Dowler excelled in Greenville
High School’s girls basketball and cheerleading. Barger excelled in
Tri-Village High School’s boys basketball and golf.
The two athletes started playing basketball at a young age and helped
lead their respective teams during the 2011-12 basketball season. Both
Dowler and Barger have family members who excelled in sports as Kevin
Dowler played basketball at Tri-Village while Dale Barger excelled in
sports at Covington.
Knapp has been an active supporter of the community that has supported
him through his sponsorship of a variety of activities and
organizations. He has been especially supportive of the community’s
youth.
“The youth of today will be the leaders of tomorrow,” Knapp said when
he presented the check to SSSF the week before. “With today’s economy,
kids need a helping hand with expenses.”
Through the support of various Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund
programs, donors and County News Online sponsors, SSSF has been able to
provide scholarships and other college aid to 16 young people since
2009. Some students have received additional aid as they continued
their college careers.
All scholarships have as their fundamental requirement academic
achievement.
