The Susan Grace Knell Scholarship Award

This scholarship celebrates the life of our benefactor, Susan G. Knell, and her passion for the Upper Arlington community. A lifelong UA resident, Susan served the community in many capacities. She was a Trustee for the Upper Arlington Historical Society; attended weekly City Council meetings; and gave generously for projects like the Amelita Mirolo Barn and accessibility to the Barrington Elementary playground for people of all abilities.

To earn this one-time $1,000 award, high school seniors must demonstrate how the community of Upper Arlington has positively impacted their lives.

Applications with all the requirements listed are available approx. November - March through the Upper Arlington High School College Counseling office.
