The Stanislaw Mott Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Stas Mott, a graduate of Big Walnut High School.

Stas possessed an exceptional work ethic, a strong sense of responsibility and the inner strength to persevere despite any obstacle he encountered. Stas was a loving and loyal friend who would drop anything to come to one’s aid. He had a gregarious sense of humor and was always ready to offer a warm smile, a funny quip, a compassionate ear, or sage advice. Stas was also a man with a plan. He worked multiple jobs, operated several businesses, and did his best to provide for his family, all while making plans for the future. Stas gave so much to those around him that his tragic and untimely passing in September 2022 was hard for those who loved him to bear.
This scholarship was established to continue Stas’s legacy and honor a student from Big Walnut High School who has exhibited a strong work ethic, who has overcome adversity and who has demonstrated a desire to be the best person they can be.
