Jeff Jurgens Memorial Scholarship Application Deadline is May 1

Eligible graduating seniors from Valley County high schools are encouraged to apply for a Jeff Jurgens Memorial Scholarship, presented by the Scottie Booster Club. Application deadline for the scholarships is May 1, 2019.

The scholarships are funded by proceeds from the annual Jeff Jurgens Memorial Basketball Tournament, which finished its 21st consecutive year last month. The tournament, as well as the namesake scholarship, are a memorial for Jeff Jurgens, a Glasgow youth and dedicated athlete who died in 1998.

In order to qualify for scholarship consideration, applicants must be on course to graduate in 2019 from a Valley County high school. They must also have participated in at least one season of high school basketball or plan to enter a health-related course of study at a post-secondary institution. Other criteria include athletic and academic achievement, community service and leadership, as well as personal integrity.

Applications are available from the counselors at any of these Valley County high schools: Glasgow, Hinsdale, Opheim, Nashua and Frazer, or by emailing Andrew McKean at [email protected].
