Veterans scholarship aids Sisters student

As an outgrowth of the annual Sisters High School Veterans Appreciation Ceremony, Lynn Johnston, a local Vietnam veteran, established the Veterans Appreciation Scholarship in 2000.

The first year the award was $1,500. This year $2,500 is available for the qualified applicant.

The scholarship requires applicants to learn more about veterans through personal interviews (which the students must videotape) and reading books from a list of biographies, autobiographies and other works.

Applications for the Veterans Scholarship are available in the SHS counseling office. The deadline for submissions is April 18, 2003.
