“This is always a tremendous way for the OHSAA to wrap up the school year,” said OHSAA Commissioner Dr. Dan Ross in a statement.

“To see these young people honored for what they have accomplished academically is very rewarding, and they all are shining examples of what it means to be a student-athlete.”

The scholarships are funded by the Farmers Insurance Group, Taco Bell, Nike and the OHSAA Foundation.
