Tori Atkinson

Tori Atkinson is beginning her freshman year at Youngstown State University’s TOPS program this fall as this year’s Ruby’s Rainbow Pride Socks Scholarship recipient, studying Early Childhood Education with graduation expected in Spring 2028.

Graduating high school with her diploma and getting accepted into YSU, officially becoming a “Penguin,” are accomplishments Tori is rightfully proud of. Her goals for this year include joining the YSU Color Guard, making a ton of new friends, and eventually working as an aide in a local preschool after graduating.

Tori loves cheerleading, singing and dancing, cooking, road trips, and spending time with family and friends.

Tori is so excited for this next journey and honored to be a Ruby’s Rainbow scholarship recipient. Welcome to YSU, Tori, go Penguins!
