AUDITOR KOVACK ANNOUNCES 2010 SCHOLARSHIP WINNER

Michael E. Kovack announced that Stephanie Rigot is the 2010 winner of the annual Auditor's Office Scholarship.  Stephanie just graduated from Wadsworth High School with a Career-Technical Honors Diploma.  This fall she will be attending Miami University in the Secondary Mathematics Education Program.  Her proud parents are Steven and Trissa Rigot. 

Stephanie has participated in Speech and Debate, Young Life Youth Group, tutored at the Salvation Army and  was a member of both Future Educators Association of Ohio and SADD.  She also was selected as Career-Technical Student of the Month in February, 2010, a winner of a Clapper Award in 2009 and served as Treasurer of the Speech and Debate Team. 

The $500 scholarship is funded by the staff of the Medina County Auditor's Office. The staff raises money throughout the year. The scholarship is to be used toward tuition, books or other school expenses.  A committee of Deputy Auditors selects the recipient of the scholarship based on school and community activities as well as an applicant's commitment to further education.

Auditor Kovack said, "It is a special privilege to award this scholarship.  I am proud of the effort the staff makes to fund this award year after year.  Stephanie is an outstanding student with an excellent academic record and a clear idea of the career path she wants to follow.  Our hats are off to Stephanie Rigot!"
