Scholarship Information:


Each year the Heart of Ohio is proud to offer the Shelia Kitchen Scholarship to girls who have played for the Heart.  The driving force behind this worthy project has been Shelia Kitchen who was one of the founders of our association.


To be eligible for a scholarship a player must:

1. Be a current player on a Heart of Ohio sanctioned team and have played on a Heart team for a minimum of three years.

2. Have graduated from High School in the Spring, with plans to attend a recognized college in the fall of the year in which the award is made. Playing softball on the college level is not a prerequisite of eligibility for this scholarship.
