Club awards scholarships to local students attending YSU
BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) – An Italian-American Club formed in 1953 once again awarded scholarships to Mahoning County high school students planning to attend Youngstown State University.
Six of the nine students posed for a photo Wednesday before the Wolves Club scholarship banquet at Michael Alberini's restaurant in Boardman. A total of $103,000 in scholarship money was handed out, which was $11,400 per student.
'It's a great organization. Youngstown State University, we're partners, and it's a matching fund as far as, if we give 50, Youngstown State gives 50, so we match our funds. It's one of the few organizations that Youngstown State does that with,' said Chairman Jim Frankino.
The scholarship recipients are the following:
Paul Armour, of Struthers
Robert Carcelli, of Struthers
Gianna Clement, of Lowellville
Rocco DiLisio, of Ursuline
Morgan Hollister, of South Range
Ryan Nigh, of Ursuline High
Gianna Noble, of Canfield
Maximus Scott, of Cardinal Mooney
Vincent Tufaro, of Poland Seminary
Throughout its 71 years, the Wolves Club has given out $1.4 million in scholarships — all to Mahoning County students attending YSU.
