Cooper is planning to study Aerospace/ Aeronautical Engineering at Ohio State University. Cooper was able to enter the scholarship outside Miami County because his mom, Dana Cooper, is an active member of the club community. All three of her children are also actively involved in the club. Cooper has a 4.1 GPA with a multitude of STEAM classes. He is actively involved with volunteer work, holds a job, and contributes to his community in many ways. He is #17 in his graduating class. The scholarship selection committee chose Cooper from the handful of applications because they felt his major better tied closely with rocks and minerals than other wonderful applicants. He also was awarded the $50 Rich Kuzpa Member Memorial Donation to a qualifying member. Congrats to Cooper! We wish him the best in all his accomplishments and future endeavors.
