Kokomo High School graduates Tabea Meyer and William Zhao have received $5,000 scholarships from Ronald McDonald House Charities and USA Funds.

The programs include: The RMHC Asian Students Increasing Achievement, RMHC Hispanic American Commitment to Education Resources, RMHC African-American Future Achievers and the RMHC Scholars program. To be eligible, students must have at least one parent with the respective heritage with the exception of the Scholars program.
