BROKEN BOW – The Custer County Foundation has announced open applications for multiple scholarships for Broken Bow students enrolled in Mid-Plains Community College dual credit courses. These scholarships are available through the foundation’s Don Davis Early Entry Access Scholarship and the Broken Bow Class of 1959 Educational Scholarship funds.
Broken Bow High School students currently enrolled in the Early Entry Access Program at Mid-Plains Community College – Broken Bow Campus are eligible to apply for these scholarships. Students eligible to receive the Access College Early Scholarship should only apply if that scholarship is not paying for all credit hours.
Students applying for the Broken Bow Class of 1959 Educational Fund may reapply every semester during their enrollment at Mid-Plains Community College as long as they are enrolled in dual credit courses. The scholarship is available for both the first and second semesters.
High schoolers interested in applying for the Don Davis Entry Access Scholarship must be recommended by their guidance counselor. Each recipient will receive tuition for one class per semester, though the scholarship may be used for an online or on-site class through MPCC’s Broken Bow Campus. The class can be for between 1 and 5 credit hours.
Preference will be given to a student who is pursuing dual credit and otherwise might not be able to enroll in courses, or who would experience financial hardship by doing so.
The amounts for both scholarships vary; both are available to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The deadline to apply is January 14. The application is available online.
The Custer County Foundation is dedicated to supporting students and education. The Foundation has established a long tradition of administering and providing scholarships to area students. These scholarships are made available through the generosity of individuals and businesses.
