Posted by Lisa Workman on Wed, May 20, 2026

The Community Foundation for Crawford County recently awarded over $219,000 in scholarships to both graduating seniors and current college students. As President Lisa Workman explained, “We know that higher education attainment levels directly correlate to higher earnings, lower unemployment rates, and improving the state’s financial position.” In 2024, the year for which the latest data is available, the Lumina Foundation reported that Crawford County had increased its education attainment level by 1.9% from the prior year, moving from 26.7% in 2022 to 28.6% in 2023. The numbers are based on working-age residents between 25 – 64 years of age. According to the Ohio Department of Higher Education, even a 5% increase in educational attainment could improve the state’s financial position by $500 million per year.
