The Patrick A. Clutter Memorial Scholarship is pleased to announce the winners of the 2026 annual Pat Clutter Memorial Scholarship.
This year William Koegler, London Miller, and William Medovic each received scholarship monies totaling $2,000 each to use towards their education in the field of Communications.
"Each year, this scholarship reminds us of the lasting impact Pat Clutter had on his students, colleagues, and the community," David Flatley, chair of the Scholarship & Memorial Fund, said. "We are proud to recognize William, London, and William for their hard work and dedication, and we look forward to seeing them continue their education and careers in communications."
This year's announcement is extremely fulfilling as we commemorate our 29th Anniversary with our scholarship and memorial golf scramble. The area's premier golf scramble - The Pat Clutter Scholarship Memorial Golf Scramble – will take place Friday, August 7, at the Crispin Center in Oglebay Park.
"This golf scramble, since its inception, is our number one fundraising event, so it is extremely important for it to be the best and well run event each and every year, we think we achieve that goal," Flatley said.
The Patrick A. Clutter Scholarship was established to assist students at Wheeling Park High School with financial resources to attend colleges, universities, or vocational centers of their choice. Clutter, long-time educator at Wheeling Park High School, founded and established the Radio and Television curriculum, as it is known today. The purpose of this scholarship is to make it possible for students to continue their education in the fields of Radio or Television. It is also the purpose of this scholarship to encourage young men and women to become better citizens by giving them the opportunity to further their education.
The Fund is invested and managed by WesBanco Bank, Wheeling as Trustee under the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley.
The Scholarship Committee is composed of five individuals who serve without compensation and are charged with the responsibility of selecting deserving students to receive scholarship, the amount of each scholarship award, and the enforcement of all rules, regulations, and requirements.
To be eligible for the scholarships, applicants must be a legal resident of Ohio County, West Virginia, who has attended Wheeling Park High School and who has completed Radio and Television classes for two consecutive years and who is a member of the current graduating class of Wheeling Park High School.
Scholastic achievement will be given strong consideration. The Scholarship Committee will consider school performance, need, and academic record and demonstrate aptitude of motivation to succeed in the pursuit of a qualified career path. All current high school applicants must have at least a 3.0 G.P.A.
"Our number one fundraiser for the Clutter Scholarship is the annual charity golf scramble," Flatley said. "Folks interested in donating or playing in the golf scramble should log on to ClutterScholarship.org for additional information and the appropriate forms."
"Since the inception of the scholarship, we have given away over $116,000 in the form of scholarship monies and essential purchases for the radio and television program at Wheeling Park High School. The scholarship fund was designed so that we can continue to reward students each year that meet eligibility requirements and who choose to continue their education in the field of communications at the next level. The scholarship fund was also designed to grant monies to the current radio and television program based on requested and needed upgrades as indicated by the department instructors."
