BROKEN BOW – The Custer County Foundation has opened applications for its annual dual-credit scholarships for Broken Bow High School students through Mid-Plains Community College.
The foundation is offering two scholarship opportunities for Broken Bow students: the Broken Bow Class of 1959 Educational Fund, and the Don Davis Early Entry Access Scholarship. The specific dollar amounts for both scholarships will vary based on a number of criteria, though both require that students are sophomores through seniors and currently enrolled as early-entry students at Mid-Plains Community College.
For the Class of 1959 Fund opportunity, students must be enrolled in dual credit courses at MPCC.
Students may reapply every semester they are enrolled in MPCC courses, though if a student is receiving an ACE Scholarship, they may only apply if that money is not paying for all credit hours. Those who have received the Class of 1959 Fund previously may reapply.
For the Don Davis Early Entry Access Scholarship, applicants must be recommended by a guidance counselor. The scholarship may be used for online on-site classes taken through MPCC’s Broken Bow Campus, though each recipient will receive tuition for only one class per semester. There is no stipulation on credit hours per course.
Preference will be given to students earning dual credit; according to the Custer County Foundation, the goal of the Don Davis Scholarship is to select a student who may not otherwise be able to enroll in the course, or who may experience financial hardship in doing so.
Students may apply every semester they are enrolled at MPCC. An application link can be found here.
