CANFIELD, Ohio – Twenty-one seniors throughout Mahoning County were recently awarded the J.L. Francis Scholarship through the First Place Community Fund, a component of the Community Fund of the Mahoning Valley.

The award is presented to one student in each of the county’s public high schools and chartered Christian schools, one student from Ursuline High School, one from Cardinal Mooney High School and one vocational student from the Mahoning County Career & Technical Center and Choffin Career & Technical Center.

Each student then must submit a career essay, a letter of reference and an application to be considered for the award. Team members from the Educational Service Center of Eastern Ohio evaluate the entries.
