2019 Scholar Athlete Awards
Introduced in May 1982, the Dispatch and Motorists Insurance Group Scholar-Athlete Awards annually honor the best and brightest high school students in central Ohio.
In early March, The Dispatch mailed nomination forms to 117 area high schools, asking administrators from each school to select two seniors — one girl and one boy — as their institution’s top scholar-athletes to vie for $96,500 in college scholarships.
These scholarships are funded by Motorists, Wolfe Associates, OhioHealth, Atlas Butler, Battelle Institute and the family of Capt. Warren B. Sneed. Awards and scholarships were presented at the 2019 Scholar-Athlete Awards banquet on June 5 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.
This year, 205 scholar-athletes from 107 participating schools were selected. Each honoree received free admission to the event as well as a plaque and gift bag from the program sponsors.
