The family of Harold E. McDaniel, DDS, established this fund to provide two scholarships each year to students attending The Ohio State University: one scholarship for a student in the College of Dentistry and the other for a student in the College of Biological Sciences. Dr. McDaniel was a young, trailblazing dentist in the early 1960s. In 1963, along with several other Black physicians, Dr. McDaniel designed and built the Franklin Park Medical Center, one of Columbus’ first Black, multi-specialty medical practices. In 1963, as a champion for equality and civil rights, Dr. McDaniel had the privilege of attending the March on Washington with Dr. Martin Luther King. Dr. McDaniel had a strong religious faith and was a proud member of Second Baptist Church where he served as an usher, trustee, and taught Sunday School. His legacy lives on and inspires other members of his family and his scholarship inspires future Black and African-American dentists.

The scholarship honors Robert Hawkins, a dedicated teacher who instilled in his students a desire to think for themselves, allowing them to discuss current topics and how they would be personally affected.

Robert's love of languages is evident in his degrees in Italian and Spanish, having studied in Ecuador, Italy, Mexico, and Spain. He also studied Arabic, French, German, Latin, and Portuguese. Robert also loved to travel, having visited more than 100 countries, sharing insights he gained with his students. He will be remembered as a teacher, friend, and lover of languages.

The Jacobs Family established this scholarship as a means to help students fund their education when traditional sources of such funding, including, but not limited to, family, government and other scholarship opportunities have been exhausted. This scholarship is meant to be the “game changer” for those students who have limited options to achieve their desired goals and would likely not have the opportunity to pursue their educational goals if not for this scholarship.

The fund was formed with funds donated to the Karen Fishburn Memorial Fund after her passing in September 2013. Karen’s dedication to numerous Morrow County organizations and countless hours of volunteer work for organizations such as the Red Cross, Key Ministries, Morrow County Association of Business Women, Morrow Country Board of Elections, and Marengo United Methodist Church, resulted in an unprecedented community outpouring at her calling hours. Annual scholarships are the Fishburn family’s way of honoring Karen for many years to come.
