SHS: Year End Giving

SHS Scholarships
through
The Springfield Foundation

Help our new SHS graduates and you help Springfield

Giving to SHS Scholarships. Perhaps this is the year that you can make a difference in the lives of others. Cash. Securities. Gifts of life insurance. Other assets like real estate or property.

Year End Giving

As the year comes to a close, it is time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. Perhaps this is the year that you can truly make a difference in the lives of our new SHS graduates through a charitable gift. No only will you feel good about your philanthropic actions, you may be rewarded with tax benefits too.

Here are a few ways that you can contribute to the SHS Scholarships:

Cash – Charitable gifts are most often made in the form of cash and checks.

Securities – Making gifts of stocks, bonds, and/or mutual funds in the right way can bring extra tax savings by avoiding capital gains.

Gifts of Life Insurance – You can contribute a life insurance policy to us by naming the SHS Scholarships as either the policy owner or the beneficiary.

Other Assets – You may own real estate or other properties that could be an option for charitable giving.

See our Donor form at www.SHSscholarships.com. Speak with Horton Hobbs at The Springfield Foundation to determine how your charitable gift can most benefit you and the SHS Scholarships.

For more information or to contribute, contact

Jack Hutslar at 800 767-4916 or

Columbus North 50th Reunion

My wife and I attended the 50th reunion of her class from Columbus North. The reunion get-togethers were held at several places on the north side of Columbus in the Polaris area. The finale on Saturday night was at The Lakes CC. Very posh. No head-banger music - very piano bar mellow. I was nice to see how other classes do it. In reviewing their handouts, it was interesting to see how many of their gradates, both male and female, held professional degrees. A very respectable group indeed.

Columbus North, just off North High Street on Aacadia, became an administrative center. Now it is called a swing school. This means that they hold classes there when there are space issues at other schools. Back in the day, many if not most of their students walked to school.

I did my student coaching [baseball] at Columbus North as part of my teaching certificate from Ohio State.

SHS Scholarships Seeking Donors

.
SHS Scholarships Seeking Donors

Jack Hutslar, a former teacher, coach and 1957 SHS graduate, announced the creation of the SHS Scholarships. It was started to provide scholarships for current-year Springfield High School graduates who wish to pursue education and training after high school.

Hutslar started working on the idea of scholarships for SHS graduates about 10 years ago. Hutslar, an Ohio State alumni [B.S., Ph.D.], noted that he rarely found Springfield linked to names in The Ohio State Monthly alumni magazine. He said: “Local scholarships would help motivate SHS graduates to pursue education after high school, whether trade school, community college or four year degree programs.”

A Wittenberg University applied management team of three undergraduate students headed by Dr Pam Schindler just concluded a thorough study of the SHS Scholarships proposal. Their recommendations provided strategic direction and tactics for how to raise funds for these scholarships. They also provided important local contact information.

















WittCAM Team

L-R: Jack Hutslar, Huddleston VA; Sopheap Kuhn, Jr, Marketing major, Columbus; Katie McIlvain, Sr, Management minor, Cleveland; Katherine Yeskewich, Jr, Management major, Columbus.


As a direct result of this WittCAM study, Hutslar began contacting various SHS, North and South reunion groups, Chamber of Commerce members, selected organizations in Springfield as well as officials at Springfield High School. These people are the local base upon which to fund these scholarships.

All SHS Scholarships donations are to be sent directly to The Springfield Foundation. Horton Hobbs, development officer, is working closely with Jack Hutslar to monitor contributions. Hobbs can help donors plan how to best contribute whether one time, monthly or annually. Donations can include property and future bequests.

The initial goal is to raise $30,000 before scholarships can be awarded. The five-year goal is to raise $1 million. Thus far, over $1,100 has been collected from SHS alumni through donation letters plus nearly $5,000 in pledges. This fundraising effort is patterned after college alumni programs rather than large individual endowments. Of course, large individual donations are gladly accepted.

The more you learn, the more you earn.

The SHS Scholarships will foster two happenings. First, it will help individual students improve their own lives and that of their current and future families. It is widely known that the more you learn, the more you earn. Secondly, educated graduates will help Springfield grow and prosper by, among other things, attracting businesses that seek an educated workforce. That lifts all boats.

Service & Leadership. Academic Performance. Need.

The criteria for awarding scholarships are service and leadership to school and community, academic performance in school, and financial need plus letters of recommendation. The SHS Scholarships were set up to encourage students to engage in service and positive leadership while in school.

These criteria are well within the reach of reasonably conscientious students. For those students and their families who want to capitalize on the value of education after high school, they should also recognize that these standards do not put a premium on high academic achievement as do many scholarships. In this case, Springfield High School students will find that they are not competing with students from across the nation for scholarships. They are competing only with their fellow classmates.
