The Flying Pig Community Scholars Program has announced 2023 scholarship program award recipients. The scholarship program, an expansion of Pig Works existing youth initiatives, provides scholarships to graduating high school seniors in the Cincinnati Tri-State area who have demonstrated a commitment to community service and running.
Since its inception in 2018, the Flying Pig Community Scholars Program has awarded more than $100,000 in scholarships to deserving students in the community. This year, the program has expanded from four winners to 10 winners (five female and five male). Each winner receives a $5,000 scholarship toward post-secondary education.
The Community Scholars program is funded by the Coughlin Family, by sponsorship from Skyline Chili, and through donations to the Community Scholars program. These contributions allow the program to recognize and reward the hard work and dedication of students who have made a positive impact on our local community.
The winners of the 2023 Flying Pig Community Scholars Program are:
- Keene “Aiden” Bryant, Goshen High School
