SCHOLARSHIPS
Nearly 25 scholarships are available through the Sherman County Community Foundation to high school graduating seniors in Sherman County who plan to pursue collegiate studies.
Some of the first financial gifts given by donors when the Sherman County Community Foundation became incorporated more than 30 years ago were stipulated for use as scholarships.
