The Community Foundation for Crawford County announces, Taylor Baumberger, the scholarship winner for The Samuel Neff Fellowship for International Studies.
Taylor, the daughter of Timothy and Tammera Baumberger, is a graduate of Wynford High School and current student at Kent State University. She will be studying fashion design for a semester in Florence, Italy at a Kent State campus in the heart of the city. In Taylor's words, “I’m excited to have the opportunity to study fashion design in one of the most culturally rich cities in the world.” She will be traveling throughout Europe to several cities including, Paris, London, Milan, Rome, Como, and Prato. “I’m beyond thankful for this chance I never thought would be mine.”
The Samuel Neff Fellowship for International Studies was established with the Foundation in 1999. Samuel Neff and his family, during the hundred years they were associated with the Bucyrus community, were actively involved with the larger world around them. Neff's descendants believe it is appropriate that the recipient is an internationally-minded young man or woman excited about engaging in a significant international experience and be willing to share that experience with others. This scholarship is intended for any Crawford County High School student, or graduate of any Crawford County High School, who is pursuing an educational experience outside the United States. Exchange programs set up by other organizations, like Rotary or college semesters abroad, are applicable for this award.
