It's that time of year again. The Rusk County GCD board has voted to continue our scholarship program since it was such a success last year. This year's scholarship will again be for $1000 and open to any graduating student who lives within Rusk County and attending College or Vocational School this coming Fall. The application can be found on our website rcgcd.org under the forms tab. I will be also contacting local schools to inform councilors about the scholarship. It does not matter if you attended public, private or home school. If you know someone who will be graduating this spring let them know about our scholarship. I'm hoping for even more applications this year. The due date for the scholarships to be turned in will be March 20, 2026.
