The Board of Directors hopes to provide leadership and guidance as the Foundation works to improve the quality of life for Barberton residents. Established in 2007 by past Foundation board member Tom Gough, this scholarship is awarded in the spirit of continuous growth.
The scholarship was created in 2005 when Barberton Elks Lodge 982, which served our community for 100 years, merged with Cuyahoga Falls-Akron Elks Lodge 1923. The Barberton Elks Lodge 982 Scholarship is given to four deserving Barberton students annually.
This scholarship is available to two Barberton High School seniors who are selected based on academic achievement as well as the activities and service they performed during their high school careers.
This scholarship was originally established by the PTA Council and Muffet family in memory of Dennis Muffet. Today, scholarships are awarded in memory of all members of the Muffet family, including Dennis Muffet, Tom Muffet and Mary Muffet.
“Since 1979, it has been the goal of the Muffet family and the Barberton PTA Council to honor Barberton High School students who exemplify scholarship and exceptional character.”
