Each year the Business & Education Committee award scholarships to local students who will be graduating from area high schools and will be attending either Central Community College or the University of Nebraska-Kearney. Our goal is to give larger and more scholarships, but we need to raise more money in order to do so. This online auction that area businesses have helped us with, will hopefully allow us to award more money to area students to help them with their education.
