YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The Cadman Family Memorial Scholarship, a new program focused on the arts, has awarded a total of $5,000 in scholarships to two local students. The scholarship is administered by The Youngstown Foundation.

This first-of-its-kind scholarship program supports Austintown Fitch graduating seniors who wish to continue their training in dance or musical theater arts at the collegiate level.

By completing an application, interview and audition process, students earned chances for scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,500. The scholarships will be presented at the May 18 Austintown Fitch High School Class of 2023 Scholarship Awards Assembly.

Larry and Linda Cadman established the Cadman Family Memorial Scholarship at the Youngstown Foundation in January. Larry Cadman, a 1962 Austintown Fitch graduate, dedicated the scholarship to the memory of his sisters, Nian Cadman and Terry Cadman. Prior to her death last year, Nian was nationally renowned as a professional dancer and instructor. Terry was an elite gymnast who operated a local gymnastics academy.

Austintown Fitch juniors and seniors engaged in dance, musical theater or the performing arts should visit the Guidance Office to learn more about the scholarship program.
