Students Receive Reach Higher Scholarships
In partnership with Reach Higher Montana and Montana Campus Network for Civic Engagement, Governor’s Office of Community Service has announced this year’s Youth ServeMontana Scholarship recipients.
Recipients include Lilliana O’Neal of Poplar.
“It is a privilege to offer the Youth ServeMontana Scholarship to deserving students who have positively impacted communities across Montana through volunteering,” said Kelly Cresswell, executive director of Reach Higher Montana. “They are much more than financial assistance, they were created to encourage young adults to play an active role in their communities, now and in the future.”
The selected 90 high school seniors will each receive a $1,500 scholarship. The students completed 100 hours or more of volunteer service in the past year and plan to attend a Montana Campus Network for Civic Engagement institution this fall.
“The Youth ServeMontana Scholarship honor high school seniors for their meaningful volunteerism along with their decision to attend a Montana college or university,” Josh Vanek, director of Montana Campus Network for Civic Engagement said.
The Youth ServeMontana Scholarship was created to promote volunteerism, encourage young leaders to further their education while providing financial assistance to those intending to enroll at an in-state institution.
Funds are administered through the Governor’s Office of Community Service.
