Cincinnati, Ohio, May 10, 2012 -- Five graduating seniors at Gilbert A. Dater High School in Western Hills are the 2012 recipients of college scholarships provided by the Foundation. This year's winners were announced May 10 at the school's Senior Awards Night. Scholarship recipients, along with the schools they plan to attend, are: The scholarship awards are for $2,500 annually and are renewable annually as long as recipients make progress toward graduation. The scholarships are awarded through the Cincinnati Scholarship Fund, which selects recipients in consultation with the school. The Foundation has made a $50,000 grant annually since 2003 in providing scholarships to graduating Dater High seniors. The scholarship awards continue a long relationship between the Dater Foundation and the school that bears the name of Charles Dater's grandfather Gilbert. When Dater Junior High gave way to Dater Montessori, then-Principal Dr. Beverly Eby convinced the school district to establish a college preparatory school on the west side of Cincinnati. Original plans called for another name, but Dr. Eby enlisted the Foundation's support and the school was allowed to retain the Dater name. The class of 2012 is the school's 10th graduating class.
