The Henry P. Huber Scholarship committee is currently accepting applications for the 2015-2016 school year.
Applications may be acquired from the guidance counselor at Bluffton High School, the superintendent's office in the Bluffton Elementary School and from the Citizens National Bank in Bluffton.
Applicants are required to submit with their application, whether a high school senior or currently enrolled in college, the most recent transcript of their academic program.
Applications must be filed with the committee by May 25, 2015.
Bluffton police ask Icon viewers to be aware of a potential telephone scam taking place in the area.
"We had a couple come into the police station today because they were contacted saying a family member needed “bail” money. The entire incident was a hoax, and fortunately, the local residents contacted police to clear things up before anyone lost any money," Rick Skilliter, Bluffton police chief told The Icon.
