Congratulations to the MVCTC students recognized at the Sinclair Young Scholarship Graduation program on Monday, May 6. Four MVCTC students were honored: Tajah Drake (Cosmetology/Northmont), Chaz Foster (Auto Collision/Trotwood), Craig Fryman (Graphic Commerical Photography/Brookville), and Nathan Martin (Aviation Maintenance/Trotwood). Additionally, Craig Fryman’s photography was displayed.

The Sinclair website explains, “The Young Scholars began in 1991 as a Saturday morning academic readiness program for under-represented, first-generation students in Montgomery County, Ohio. Twenty-seven years later, the program has evolved into a college and career readiness program and continues to target those students with the greatest need.”

Young Scholars currently meet throughout the academic year on Saturday mornings from 9:00 AM to 12:00 p.m. In addition, students are given the opportunity to participate in various community and cultural events. Students are also required to meet for Advisory sessions twice a year with Young Scholars Staff. Applicants are First Generation College students (parent or guardian has NOT earned a higher level degree) who reside in Montgomery County and complete their eighth-grade year with a 2.5 or higher.

MVCTC Student Services Supervisor, Mr. Brian Jettinghoff shared, “This is a tremendous program geared toward student success.”
