The scholarships will be paid directly to the school or college where the winning students will be enrolled.
Applications for these scholarships may be obtained through the guidance counselors either in Bluffton, Pandora-Gilboa or Cory-Rawson School Districts. Those completed applications received by April 16, 2013, will be considered.
There were hints of spring in the air this week. Here are the daily high and low temperature readings plus rain and snow reports from Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.
