Pat and Dave Diven Scholarship

The Pat and Dave Diven Scholarship was established for students who have attended Dayton Public Schools. Non-traditional students (defined as an individual accepted to a qualified school, who have attained his/her GED or who did not pursue further education immediately after graduating from high school) are given priority.

The Diven family established this endowed scholarship to benefit the community in which they reside. As the founders said, "We have been fortunate during our lives and want to establish a legacy to benefit those who may not have had so many advantages in life. We believe that all individuals should have equal opportunities and that is not always the case. This is an effort to give an opportunity to individuals who didn't always get it."

Applicants must:

• be a graduating senior of a Dayton Public high school or a non-traditional student who attended Dayton Public Schools,
• be accepted and planning to attend an accredited two- or four-year college or university, community college or trade/technical school on at least a part-time basis,
• have a minimum GPA of 2.7 on a 4.0 scale (may be waived for non-traditional students), and
• demonstrate financial need.
