Board: Minot Selectmen

Met: Monday

College scholarships

Issue: Each January, selectmen award scholarships from the Leonard Simion and Elsa Simion Fortin scholarship and Arthur Harris scholarship funds.

The scoop: Selectmen announced that college students from Minot have until Jan. 11 to file applications for scholarships from the two funds they manage. A student must have completed at least one year of college to qualify for a Leonard Simion and Elsa Simion Fortin scholarship; and the Arthur Harris scholarship is available for any student attending a two- or four-year accredited college or technical school, including anyone who has just completed their first semester. For full details and an application, interested students should contact the town office at 345-3305.
