From the Board of The William D. Squires Educational Foundation:
It is with heavy hearts that the members of our foundation are announcing we will not be offering any new William D. Squires Scholarships. Twenty students in the Class of 2020 were awarded our final scholarships.
The foundation has brought a tremendous amount of joy and pride to our family over the past twenty years. Uncle William would be so proud knowing that his foundation has awarded over $4 million to help educate 320 college students.
We wish all graduating seniors good luck in your pursuit of a higher education. It’s worth it!
Sincerely,
All members of the William D. Squires Educational Foundation
If you would like to learn more about Mr. William D Squires and his Foundation, please continue….
Mr. William D. Squires had a dream to help students in his home state, the great state of Ohio. His dream led to the creation of The William D. Squires Educational Foundation in 1999. What a great legacy. It is a small non-profit family foundation, created solely to offer financial need-based scholarships to Ohio seniors.
The Foundation began awarding William D. Squires Scholarships in 2000. Many people assume that William passed away prior to the Foundation’s inception. He actually witnessed the initial phases, including the selection process, and even the graduation of our first recipients from the Class of 2000.
As of 2020, our final year, the Foundation has awarded a total of 320 scholarships for over four million dollars!
Many of our William D. Squires Scholarship students have told us that it has made a huge difference. Sometimes the scholarship is the deciding factor between which school to attend or whether they can live on campus and enjoy the full college experience. Sometimes it simply means less work and more study time.
About the Foundation will answer questions about Mr. William D. Squires and give a brief history of his educational foundation.
