The Community Foundation for Crawford County is pleased to introduce Lucas Biederman, a 2023 recipient of one of the 19 Doug and Renee Leuthold Scholarship awards and one of the 19 Margaret and Donald Wenner, MD Scholarship awards.
Lucas, the son of Jacob Biederman and Betty Jackson, is a 2023 graduate of Colonel Crawford High School. He will be attending Ohio University this fall and studying Biological Sciences.
What inspired you to choose your intended major?
“When I first studied Biology in Junior High and High School, it was not a subject that piqued my interest. I preferred studying subjects related to the physical sciences, like chemistry. However, when I began taking College Credit Plus courses, that all changed. I greatly enjoyed my Biology courses, and I enjoyed applying what I learned to my life. After a couple of semesters in the College Credit Plus program, I decided that Biology was something that I could enjoy studying in college.”
What are your career and life goals after you graduate?
“After I graduate, I intend to become an osteopathic physician. As of right now, I am planning on specializing in family or internal medicine, but that may change. I hope to return to Crawford County after I have completed my studies to continue serving the citizens of our community.”
Congratulations and good luck in the future, Lucas!
