COSHOCTON – Renee Hardesty has been named the winner of the Coshocton Rotary Club adult scholarship for 2014.
In addition to its three annual scholarships for local graduating seniors, the Rotary Club awards a $2,000 scholarship to an adult or “non-traditional” student.
Hardesty, who has served as executive assistant at the Coshocton Port Authority for the past five years, is a COTC student who is pursuing an associate’s degree in the field of business. She has maintained a straight-A average in her studies.
Hardesty says that she is “passionate about Coshocton and excited to help promote growth and prosperity here.”
Hardesty and her husband Jason and their two children reside in Warsaw.
Rotary president Heather Rainwater explained that the Coshocton Rotary Club added the adult or “non-traditional” scholarship in recent years in response to the need in the community.
“Many people in Coshocton County have had to change career directions as the result of a job loss, and Rotary wants to help make additional education possible,” she said.
