It will provide financial assistance to full-time students who, through their pre- college academic success and extracurricular activities, have demonstrated outstanding scholarship and leadership to school and community. Applicants will be accepted from students in the Black River Falls School District. Preference will be given to Black River Falls School District applicants although students residing in other districts in Jackson County will be considered after special nomination by the scholarship committee.
