“Life is often challenging, but with the right resources, a bit of curiosity, and steadfast determination, young people in Whitehall can achieve more than they ever imagined possible.”
– Shaquille Alexander ’18
Shaquille Alexander ’18 has created a scholarship for Whitehall-Yearling High School graduates who plan to attend Otterbein and study in the Business, Accounting, and Economics Department (BAE). Alexander wanted to establish the Shaquille Alexander ’18 Endowed Scholarship because he understands how life can be difficult without the proper resources, and this was his way of giving back to the community.
Alexander graduated from WhitehallYearling High School in 2014 and graduated cum laude from Otterbein in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in finance and business administration. He was appointed the Whitehall city treasurer in 2022 and now serves as the city auditor. Alexander was named as one of Otterbein’s Rising Star Alumni Award honorees this year.
