Brookings-area high school seniors earn scholarships from Rotary Club

Each year the Brookings Rotary Club awards six $1,000 scholarships to area high school seniors who will attend South Dakota State University.

Funds for the scholarships are collected throughout the year from Scholar Dollars collected at weekly club meetings from members wishing to share announcements, family celebrations and other positive comments. Scholarship recipients are chosen by selection committees at Brookings High School, Elkton High School, Sioux Valley High School and Deubrook High School.

This years winners are: Sopia Poppen, Abigail Mohs and Andrew Sternhagen, Brookings High School; Maria Quale, Sioux Valley High School; Kadence Bowne, Deubrook High School; and Caedman Bressler, Elkton High School.
