Spokane Scholars Foundation gives out grants

The Spokane Scholars Foundation awarded $60,000 in grants to 24 high school students Monday evening.

Students are nominated in one of six content areas by their high school principal, counselors or teachers. After nomination, students complete an application and judges select four grant recipients for each category. Some regional colleges and universities match the grants.
