The North Orange Family Dentistry Scholarship was created to provide post-secondary support to a Delaware County graduating senior who plans to study dentistry, medicine, science or a medically related field. The beginning of Dr. Bogen’s own path to becoming a dentist was paved with help from community scholarships similar to this. He formed this scholarship to help others begin their own path in health care.

Peter Manos came to Delaware after serving in the Pacific Theater during WWII to attend Ohio Wesleyan University and met Georgia Vatsures, his future wife. He graduated from OWU in 1947 and continued his education at Capital Law School. Their granddaughter, Angela Brown also graduated from Capital Law School in 2013. Peter worked his way through law school by selling insurance throughout Delaware County and developed great admiration for the friendly, hardworking people he encountered. In 1951, he graduated from law school, married Georgia, and opened his law office in Delaware, where he practiced for over 50 years. This scholarship pays tribute to the people of Delaware County and Ohio Wesleyan University who shaped the lives of the Manos Family.
The Weiler family is funding this scholarship with the purpose of supporting graduating high school students who are determined to succeed and wish to pursue a career in vocational/technical areas, yet they have not been afforded the opportunities, resources, or encouragement. While some students are highly successful on academically-focused tracks, for other students, a four-year tenure in a university does not serve their interests nor goals.
Those in technical careers have built the foundation of this nation. Often, however, they have not received the support nor encouragement that other more privileged students have received. This grant is to help those who have been underserved and/or marginalized by traditional institutions with the aim of helping these students fulfill their career aspirations.
