Thomas and Patricia Kearns established this scholarship in 2010 to reward the hard work and dedication of a student who was an active member of the Wyoming Area Drama Club during his or her senior year. As the theatre has been a wonderful influence on Mrs. Kearns' life as well as his family's lives, Thomas and Patricia wish to assist in furthering the education of a student who has undergone similar cultural experiences. Working with the young talent at Wyoming Area over the years and witnessing the drama club members grow in character and talent has brought so much joy to his life. Thomas and Patricia showed their appreciation for that gift by offering a 1,000.00 scholarship. Mr. Kearns passed away in 2013 and his sons, Thomas, Patrick, John and Matthew have continued to fund this scholarship in their parents' honor.
