Pennsylvania Odyssey of the Mind lost several members of its Odyssey family in a tragic accident in March 1998. Pennsylvania Odyssey of the Mind is proud to remember the young people from Line Mountain (Chad Hain, Jason Herrold, Kip Snyder, Amanda Wehry, Toni Wehry, Tyrone Wehry, David Wiest, and Toby Wiest) through the awarding of an annual scholarship of $2,500 dollars to one Pennsylvania senior who most nearly embodies the spirit of and demonstrates the creativity so coveted by Odyssey of the Mind. This scholarship will be paid directly to a post-secondary institution toward the student's tuition, room and board, or school-required fees.

It is designed to allow students to demonstrate those talents, abilities and most of all, the CREATIVITY that PA Odyssey of the Mind values and cultivates in its participants.
