2026 Scholarship Recipients

June 5, 2026

Congratulations to our 2026 Scholarship Recipients

Every year, we have the privilege of reading applications from remarkable students whose actions demonstrate that compassion, generosity, and service can have a powerful impact at any age. The stories shared with us this year were thoughtful, inspiring, and a reminder that our future is in good hands.

To every student who applied, thank you. Your willingness to serve others, support your communities, and lead with kindness made this year's selection process incredibly difficult. While we are unable to recognize every applicant with a scholarship, we are grateful for the example each of you has set.

This year, we are honored to award scholarships to 20 students whose essays and accomplishments reflected a genuine commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. Each recipient will receive $500 each towards the first year of toward tuition at the private high school they will attend this fall.

In addition, we are proud to recognize 3 returning scholarship recipients with our Frondorf Legacy Award. These students continued to partner with the Aubrey Rose Foundation throughout the past year, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to helping families facing childhood illness and adversity. Their dedication to serving others exemplifies the spirit of this award.

We invite you to join us in celebrating these outstanding young people and the positive impact they are already making throughout Greater Cincinnati. Learn more about our scholarship program here.

Scholarship Reception

One of our favorite traditions is gathering to celebrate these students in person. Scholarship recipients, along with their parents, teachers, and school administrators, are invited to attend a special reception in their honor.

The 2026 Scholarship Reception was held on June 4, 2026 at Pebble Creek Golf Course. It was a wonderful evening recognizing students whose character, compassion, and commitment to others make our community stronger.

Congratulations to all of our 2026 scholarship recipients and award winners!

We've given out hundreds over scholarships since 2001! Here are some of our most recent recipients:
