The Ashland County Sports Hall of Fame Endowed Scholarship 

The Board of Trustees on August 24, 1994, approved the establishment of the Ashland County Sports Hall of Fame Endowed Scholarship. The Endowed Scholarship was appropriately renamed the Bill Mills Endowed Scholarship. The Trustees wanted to honor Bill Mills since he was the “Founder of the Hall of Fame,” in 1982, with the first induction in 1984.

The interest from the endowment principle is awarded each year to a qualified student/athletes in Ashland County. The purpose of the scholarship is to assist in deserving high school graduates to further their education. All Ashland County senior high school student/athletes are eligible to apply for the scholarship. A scholarship application form has been established by the endowed scholarship committee, which evaluates all candidates and selects the award winner each spring.

Bill Mills and the Hall of Fame organization want to thank all of the past inductees, families of deceased inductees, and other supporters who have donated over $18,000 to the scholarship fund.

If you wish to contribute to the Bill Mills Endowed Scholarship, please contact: Tom Herron, Ashland County Sports Hall of Fame, P.O. Box 731, Ashland, OH 44805 or Nancy Noble.
