Out of nearly 70 applications, four winners were awarded the SRT Scholarship, each receiving $1,500 towards their college tuition. The SRT $2,500 Technical Scholarship winner was also selected.
“Scholarships are a great way for SRT to recognize students for their exceptional work throughout high school,” said Steve Lysne, SRT General Manager/CEO. “Fortunately, we have been able to see the significance this scholarship program makes on our youth. Many students have returned to the area after college and it has been wonderful to see them make a positive impact in their community.”
Applicants for the $1,500 scholarship were not only judged on their scholastic performance and achievements, but also volunteerism and community involvement. Students were required to write an essay discussing how smart devices and tech gadgets have impacted their high school learning experience in a positive way.
The SRT Technical Scholarship also required students to submit their volunteerism and community involvement, scholastic performance, and an essay describing their plans for a future career in telecommunications or a computer technology related field. Additionally, a letter of recommendation from a community member or educator was required. This scholarship is also unique in that it can be awarded to a graduating high school senior or an undergraduate student currently enrolled in a two-year or four-year college.
