We have developed the Sean Noland Memorial Scholarship through Antioch Community High School that will be given each year to a senior who is involved in many activities, demonstrates financial need, and portrays the same lively spirit we all loved in Sean. The Sean Noland Foundation received nine applications from highly qualified individuals and as of April 20, 2007 the winner and first ever recipient of the Sean Noland Memorial Scholarship was chosen. Our commitment to this year's recipient is $500 per semester that he/she maintains above average grades.
