The first of the new Ar-Hale Scholars at The Ohio State University at Lima have been named.
- Ray Clark, senior of Kenton
- Michael Schafer, sophomore of Bradford

The Ar-Hale Scholars Fund for Lima Engineering Technology was established in 2021 through gifts from the Ar-Hale Family Foundation and provides significant support up to half-tuition for students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology program at Ohio State Lima.
Award recipients are selected based on demonstrated leadership and engagement in school, civic or community activities and a 2.5 GPA or higher. Financial need may be considered.
Engineering technology students of all ranks can apply each year for the scholarship. Preference among upperclassmen candidates will be given to those who have engaged with local community partners during their academic careers through internships, mentorships and industry tours.
The engineering technology degree responds to Ohio manufacturers’ requests for highly skilled engineers who possess general manufacturing engineering technology skills that marry business and leadership principles to engineering processes and technical knowledge.
