Mad River Lodge #161, West Liberty, Ohio has recently changed its college scholarship program to a financial aid program that assists juvenile offenders at the Central Ohio Youth Center (COYC) to earn their GED. “Our $500 scholarship was able to buy about a semester’s worth of books for one student,” explained Larry Lance, secretary of Mad River Lodge. “However, with that same amount, we are now able to sponsor 12½ students in the GED program. It just might be that this could be the deciding factor that helps these young people to turn their lives around. Wouldn’t that be awesome!”
