Congratulations to the 2026 Rumpke Scholarship recipients!
For nearly a century, Rumpke has made the wellbeing of its service communities one of the business’s core values. We believe in being a good neighbor by doing our part to build sustainable, vibrant communities for our families to live in through partnerships with local nonprofits, schools, and civic organizations, as well as through education, environmental stewardship, and community development.
Owned and operated by the Rumpke family’s third and fourth generations, Rumpke understands the importance of investing in the next generation. To support our future leaders' education and development, we offer annual scholarships to graduating high school seniors across our service areas and to team members and their families.
