Tubia Named 2025 Parisian Memorial Scholarship Recipient

ONEONTA—This year’s Ricky J. Parisian Memorial Scholarship Foundation scholarship recipient is Oneonta High School senior Tanner Tubia. The announcement was made on Friday, June 20 by David Brower, chair of the foundation’s Selection Committee and past scholarship recipient, during a presentation held in honor of the late Ricky J. Parisian.

Selected through a nomination and review process that remains completely independent from the foundation, Tubia stood out for his character, leadership, and service to others, qualities that exemplify the legacy of Ricky J. Parisian, officials said.

“Tanner is polite, thoughtful and helpful,” said Brower. “He is not only on time and prepared, but always willing to lend a hand, whether in the classroom or beyond. One of his nominators noted that Tanner didn’t just attend study hall, he made himself useful, often volunteering without being asked.”
