Each scholarship provides $12,000, payable $3,000 per year during the student’s under-graduate or graduate college or university career for four years, upon the condition that scholastic eligibility continues to be maintained.

The alternates to receive the awards for this year or succeeding years, if any of the five winners become ineligible are, in order of their ranking: Cagney Lemuz, Quade Cobb, Creighton Haney, Jarett Seeman and Brayson Bird. 

Scholarships were awarded following recommendations of the screening committee who reviewed applications from Pawnee County residents who are graduates this spring of the two Pawnee County high schools.
