COLE LUDWIG MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
The Cole Ludwig Memorial Scholarship was created to invest in the future of local students while honoring a life that continues to inspire the Tiffin community.
Through the support of family, friends, community members, and annual fundraising efforts, the scholarship provides educational assistance to students pursuing their goals after high school. The fund serves as a lasting reminder of the positive impact one person can have on the lives of others.
Each year, scholarship recipients are selected through the Tiffin Community Foundation. The scholarship recognizes students who demonstrate strong character, dedication, perseverance, and a commitment to their education and community.
More than financial assistance, the scholarship represents an investment in future leaders and an opportunity for students to carry forward the values that have made this fund meaningful since its creation.

"Cole Ludwig's greatest strength on our football team was being an unbelievable teammate. Cole never started a game at Columbian but not once did he pout, quit or stop working to be the best he could. He was supportive of his team and was willing to do whatever he could to help us win, special teams, scout team didn't matter. In today's world not many kids stick out a sport for four years if they aren't having individual success, Cole was about being a part of a team and contributing in any way possible to help his friends and that is a great legacy to have."
