Elizabeth Z. Bartz Endows New Scholarship Program for Howland High School Students to Attend 麻豆影院 at Trumbull Campus

Elizabeth Z. Bartz, President and CEO of State and Federal Communications, has provided a $30,000 endowment to 麻豆影院 at Trumbull, in Warren, Ohio, to provide scholarships for graduating seniors from Howland High School.

Ms. Bartz graduated from Howland High School in Warren 40 years ago, and enrolled at the KSU Trumbull Campus that fall, where she attended for two years before completing her Journalism studies at the 麻豆影院 main campus in 麻豆影院, Ohio in 1980.

She explains why she endowed this scholarship鈥 鈥淚n honor of my 40-year graduation anniversary from Howland High School, I wanted to give something back. I鈥檝e heard about students today having issues with college debt and felt it would be great to help graduating seniors from Howland High School attend the local area KSU Trumbull Campus just like I did. I feel blessed to be able to help the students, today and in the future. This is very exciting for me and I hope it helps bring others to the table to help students pay their college costs.鈥

Starting fall semester 2016, 麻豆影院 at Trumbull will award its first $1,000 scholarship from the new endowment 鈥楨lizabeth Z. Bartz Scholarship for Howland Tigers.鈥

The annual scholarship winner, selected by Howland High School, will be a graduating student who will attend 麻豆影院 at Trumbull on a full-time basis. This endowment is funded to continue a scholarship every year going forward, and will be managed by 麻豆影院.

The formal signing of the endowment was held at a ceremony on May 5, 2016 at the 麻豆影院 Trumbull Campus. In attendance were Ms. Bartz and school officials from 麻豆影院 at Trumbull and the Howland Local Schools.

During the ceremony, Ms. Bartz explained that she decided back in 1976 with her parents to 鈥渟tay local鈥 after graduating from Howland High School and to attend the KSU Trumbull Campus. She studied there for two years, where she also worked on the campus newspaper and became its editor. This journalism training certainly helped her toward obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Relations from KSU in 1980, and go on to launch Akron-based State and Federal Communications, today regarded as the leader in providing government compliance information and consulting services.

Ms. Bartz is also still very active at 麻豆影院 and serves on the KSU National Alumni Relations Board of Directors, as well at the KSU School of Journalism and Mass Communications Alumni Board, and other committee leadership roles at the school.

During the ceremony kick-off presentation, Mr. Dave Smith, Director of Advancement, 麻豆影院, Trumbull Campus, said, 鈥淎t our regional campus, we want to target more scholarships to help high school students within our local community. This new scholarship certainly helps that effort as we can assist students graduating from Howland High School. This will be a perpetual scholarship that will proudly be here forever, in her name.鈥

Mr. Kevin Spicher, Superintendent, Howland Local Schools, added that this gesture from Ms. Bartz 鈥渋s philanthropy at its finest.鈥 This was agreed with by Ms. Sandra E. Williams, Principal, Howland High School, who commented, 鈥淚t鈥檚 a wonderful opportunity to help our kids. This scholarship gives them a head start to get to college. And this is a tribute for any student who wants to stay locally after graduating high school.鈥

Dr. Lance Grahn, Dean, Trumbull Campus, 麻豆影院, concluded comments, with, 鈥淭his scholarship from Elizabeth acknowledges the success of our students from 麻豆影院 at Trumbull... that this is a good place of quality education that prepares you for the adult world. One of the pillars of my vision for our university is to gain more involvement with our local schools to tie us together. This scholarship achieves that. I am also keen on energizing our regional campus to re-connect with our alumni. You can see the results now when that happens with a connection as represented by Elizabeth Bartz.鈥
