Scholarship offered to Bonner County graduating seniors

For the ninth year, the Bonner County Human Rights Task Force is offering a $2,000 scholarship to graduating seniors from Bonner County who will be enrolling in higher education next fall. All graduating seniors are eligible whether they are attending public school or private school or are home-schooled.

Applicants must reside in Bonner County, have a minimum grade-point average of 2.5, and plan to enroll in higher education in the fall. Children of Task Force board members are not eligible; families are not required to be members of the Task Force to be considered.

Each year the Task Force has awarded the scholarship to a student who has consistently shown concern for the rights and dignity of others. The criteria includes not only traditional human rights activities, but also community services and volunteerism.

Application forms are available at counselors’ offices at the public schools or by calling the Bonner County Human Rights Task Force at 263-0275.
