The Leslie Ann Yovan Scholarship was created by her family to honor the memory of their daughter and sister. Leslie was valedictorian of her graduating class in 1985. She completed all state requirements and graduated in just three years with a 4.0 grade point average. Upon leaving Grandview, she attended the Cleveland Institute of Music and then went on to earn her law degree at Georgetown School of Law. She became an associate attorney at Porter Wright Morris & Arthur law firm. Music, art, nature, and reading were Ms. Yovan's favorite activities, when she was not working.
