Polson foundation accepting applications for spring scholarships

The Polson Scholarship and Education Foundation (PSEF) will award 26 scholarships this spring — 13 for high school seniors and 13 for Polson High School graduates who are currently enrolled in college or plan to return.

The high school scholarships are up to $1,000, and the college scholarships amounts go up to $2,000. Money for PSEF is generated by various fundraising events, donations from individuals and clubs, and from families who provide scholarships in memory of loved ones.

Parents of students who are attending college should be aware that there are many scholarships to provide financial assistance to PHS graduates who are continuing their education. These scholarships are for an accredited four-year, two-year, community college or vocational program.

Qualifications vary with each scholarship. All students are encouraged to apply, as these scholarships are for every type of student with various GPAs.

The scholarship application process is online at the Polson High School website under Counseling and PSEF. All scholarship requirements and applications can be accessed electronically from this web page. For more information and applications, contact Chris McElwee of the PHS Counseling office at 883-6351, ext. 203, or Chris Strom at stromchris2@gmail.com.

The deadline for applications is March 21.
