Eight local high school students will receive scholarships to Youngstown State University from the Wolves Club of Youngstown.

The club is an Italian heritage organization of business professionals who support higher education. The local club funds the program by conducting various fundraising events throughout the year. Funding for 2015-2016 YSU scholarships was raised in 2014 and is matched by the Youngstown State University Foundation. This year, YSU and the Wolves will award $40,000 in scholarships.

Each recipient received a four-year scholarship at the club’s annual scholarship banquet in May at The Embassy. The YSU Dana School of Music provided the entertainment under the direction of Dr. Allan Mosure and Jennifer Jones Mosure.
