Grant dollars help support education at Ivy Tech
Hamilton County has awarded six high school seniors $2,500 scholarships to support their education at Ivy Tech Community College.
The scholarship program, which is part of the county’s discretionary grant program, is a partnership between the County Council and six Youth Assistance Programs in Hamilton County.
The following students were awarded the scholarships:
- Anna Hesser: Carmel Youth Assistance Program
- Kenzee Boezeman: Fishers Youth Assistance Program
- Cheyenne Boggs: Hamilton Heights Youth Assistance Program
- Shaylyn Turner: Noblesville Youth Assistance Program
- Ava Netherton: Sheridan Youth Assistance Program

“Supporting our youth is one of the best investments we can make,” said County Councilor Steve Nation, a former prosecutor, judge, and founder of the Hamilton County Youth Assistance Program. “Programs like this help students work towards their future and have a strong start close to home.”
All the students awarded scholarships plan to attend Ivy Tech’s Hamilton County location.
“We want every student in Hamilton County to have the opportunity to succeed,” County Councilor Brad Beaver said. “Programs like this not only support individual students, but they also strengthen our community. Ivy Tech is a key partner in making education affordable and accessible, and we’re proud to support their mission.”
