MIAMI COUNTY — The Miami County Bar Association has announced the awarding of its 2021 high school graduating senior scholarships of $1,500 each to five Miami County area graduating seniors. The bar association’s Scholarship Committee typically meets annually in April of each year to review scholarship applications submitted by area graduating seniors with the help of their school guidance counselors, but once again due to the COVID-19 emergency, this year’s meeting was delayed until mid-May. The committee solicits scholarship applications from Miami County’s nine public high schools, Troy Christian High School and Lehman Catholic High School. The committee then evaluates the applications and handwritten personal statements of the student applicants to make its awards.
