The scholarships that Kiwanis Club of Chardon awards each year are made possible through various activities, which include the sale of maple syrup products all year, a corn roast in September, and various other events.
This year's scholarships were awarded during the annual Kiwanis scholarship cookout on July 8 at Big Creek Park.
The scholarship recipients, all class of 2022 graduates from Chardon High School, were Grace Fisak and Zoran Vujaklija, who each received a Chardon Kiwanis scholarship, and Charlotte Bennet,t who was awarded the Bob Moses scholarship.

The Kiwanis strongly believes that even one person can help their community through volunteering. Each recipient of this year's scholarships is involved in our community through the participation in extracurricular activities and volunteering.
