Scholarship Fund Drive Surpasses $3,000

Generous citizens continue to donate to the 2014 Elgin Scholarship Drive as graduation day nears.
The annual scholarship fund drive is being sponsored by the Elgin Area Community Foundation.
During the past week, the scholarship fund drive surpassed $3,000 approximately which, in turn, will be awarded to students from Elgin and Pope John schools next month.
These donations will be eligible for matching funds.
The match is given by the Colonel Barney Oldfield and Vada Kinman Trust.
Altogether more than 90 students have received scholarships over the past 11 years.
New donations were received from Mildred Pelster, Mike & Connie Dvorak, Robert & Debbie Busteed, Tom & Orfilia Eischeid, and Bernadine Erickson.
The scholarship fund now stands at $3,080.
Persons wishing to make donations can do so by mailing their gift to Elgin Scholarship Drive, P.O. Box 345, Elgin, NE 68636.
