Solon High Student To Be Honored At Cavs Game With College Scholarship

Dylan Bederman, a Solon High School senior, is one of 10 graduating seniors in Northeast Ohio who will receive a scholarship from the Cleveland Cavaliers and FirstMerit Bank.

Bederman will receive a $2,000 check during a halftime ceremony Friday night when the Cavs play the New York Knicks.

Bederman was selected from a pool of 600 applicants. He is the president of Key Club, a member of the National Honor Society, Principal’s Advisory Board and Leadership Council. He is also a member on the Solon High School track and cross country teams.

Outside of the classroom, Bederman established a charity basketball weekend to raise funds for the Susan G. Komen foundation and a Key Club fundraising effort which resulted in a $3,000 donation to the Ronald McDonald House of Greater Cleveland. He also oversees the operation of the annual school canned food drive to benefit the Cleveland Foodbank.

"We have so many talented young adults in Northeastern Ohio and it’s truly an honor to help contribute to their future with these scholarships," said Julie Tutkovics, Chief Marketing Officer at FirstMerit Bank.
