Layding Family Scholarship for Career Development

Investing in skills, careers, and a path to a brighter future

Success can take many different paths. Established by Martin and Margaret Layding of Aurora, Ohio, the Layding Family Scholarship for Career Development supports Portage County students pursuing technical, trade, and vocational education.

The scholarship helps graduating seniors take the next step toward meaningful careers by supporting their education in two-year technical or trade skill programs. Recipients may also have the opportunity to apply for additional funding as they continue their studies.

By investing in students who are building practical skills and preparing for the workforce, the Layding Family Scholarship helps open doors to opportunity and empowers the next generation to pursue careers that can shape their futures and strengthen our community.
