Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Central Indiana (RMHCCIN) recognizes the importance of continuing education and the expenses associated with obtaining a college degree. To assist with college finances, RMHCCIN will award 20 Central Indiana high school seniors each with a $5,000 scholarship.
Jacob Mears, Westfield, and Isabella Simons, Carmel, were included in the list of scholarship winners.
The scholarship recipients will be honored at an awards ceremony from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 9 at the Ronald McDonald House. This year’s event will feature keynote speaker Steve Campbell, Vice President of Communications for the Indianapolis Colts. Rafael Sanchez from Channel 6 News will return as the event’s emcee. The recipients were selected based on their academic achievements, community involvement and financial need.
