Lidgerwood Local Scholarships 2011-2012

 

            Students may apply for 9 of the 14 local Lidgerwood scholarships by completing only one application form.  This eliminates some of the repetitive work and allows students to concentrate on the quality of their applications.  Students are encouraged to use a computer and print and save copies of their completed applications.

        Five of the scholarships have some unique questions that require separate applications.  All the applications are now available, except the one for Farmers Union Oil of Lidgerwood and Wyndmere.
