The Jim Raeder Helping Hand Scholarship Fund was established to help students, who show academic promise, achieve a college education. Jim Raeder had the benefit of a college education; it served him well and he values it highly. He adopted Ohio, and particularly Appalachian Ohio, as his home and wants to contribute to his community. Raeder established the Help Hand Scholarship to address the rising cost of a college education.
