The scholarship was created in 2005 when Barberton Elks Lodge 982, which served our community for 100 years, merged with Cuyahoga Falls-Akron Elks Lodge 1923. The Barberton Elks Lodge 982 Scholarship is given to four deserving Barberton students annually.
This scholarship is available to two Barberton High School seniors who are selected based on academic achievement as well as the activities and service they performed during their high school careers.
This scholarship was originally established by the PTA Council and Muffet family in memory of Dennis Muffet. Today, scholarships are awarded in memory of all members of the Muffet family, including Dennis Muffet, Tom Muffet and Mary Muffet.
“Since 1979, it has been the goal of the Muffet family and the Barberton PTA Council to honor Barberton High School students who exemplify scholarship and exceptional character.”
-Kathy Maybin and the Muffet Family
This fund was established by the Barberton PTA Council to assist Barberton High School students with the cost of college. The recipient or their parent/guardian must be a current member of the Barberton PTA.
Harry J. Bauschlinger dedicated more than 50 years to the Barberton community. He was a lifelong “Magic” in every sense of the word. He was a teacher, coach, councilman, community volunteer, leader in his church, caring neighbor, friend, loving husband, father and grandfather. After Harry’s passing in 2003, the Bauschlinger family established a memorial scholarship at Barberton Community Foundation benefiting a BHS graduate majoring in education.
