Line Mountain Scholarship

Check back in December for next year’s application!

Pennsylvania Odyssey of the Mind lost several members of its Odyssey family in a tragic accident in March 1998. We are proud to remember the young people from Line Mountain — Chad Hain, Jason Herrold, Kip Snyder, Amanda Wehry, Toni Wehry, Tyrone Wehry, David Wiest, and Toby Wiest — through the awarding of annual scholarships to Pennsylvania seniors who best embody the spirit of Odyssey of the Mind and demonstrate the creativity so coveted by the program.

This scholarship is paid directly to a post secondary institution toward the student’s tuition, room and board, or school required fees. The scholarship is not based on financial need or academic performance. The scholarship application is designed to allow students to demonstrate those talents, abilities and most of all, the creativity that Odyssey of the Mind values and cultivates in its participants.
