3^rd YEAR SCHOLARSHIPS GIVEN OUT FOR FIRST TIME

The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholars Chapter) gave out for the 1^st time this fall money for the 3^rd Year Scholarship. The 3^rd Year Scholarship fund had $523 to divide among the 14 applicants who applied. This money was generated from a raffle that was held this past spring. The raffle prizes were then given out at awards night.

The students receiving the 3^rd Year Scholarships were very appreciative of the extra help received. Any donations that are received and designated for the 3^rd Year Scholarship, will be added to the principal with only the interest given out each year.

If you would like to make a donation to the 3^rd Year Scholarship fund or any of the other funds within the Foundation, please contact Doug King, Board of Trustee representative for the City of Guernsey, or any other board member. You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, IA 52211.
