Alliance High School recognized 51 seniors with close to $1 million in local scholarships and 13 career bound students during the annual senior scholarship and career commitment night held on Monday, May 2. 

Approximately 80 organizations and scholarships were represented during the ceremony, including the Alliance High School Foundation which gives over $100,000 in scholarships each year.

Six new scholarships were available for the AHS class of 2022: The Mather Education Scholarship, The Above Average Women Scholarship, the Michael Bondoni Memorial Scholarship, the Catonna Jones and Tremayne Banks Book Scholarship, the Mac McLeod Scholarship and the Grimes Scholarship.

Six students were awarded full-tuition scholarships to further their educational journeys after high school. The Investment Alliance Scholarship provides the top 15 students at AHS with full-tuition scholarships to the University of Mount Union for four years. This year five students accepted the scholarship: Celine Monastra, Nathaniel Woerther, Thomas Butt, Shannon Bowman and Cecilia Zucchero.

The AllianceWorks Scholarship provides graduating seniors who have completed a career tech program with a two-year full tuition scholarship to Stark State. The scholarship was awarded to Alexandra Corke.
