Five Mayes County students have been named Rogers State University Mayes County Fair Scholarship recipients.
The scholarship recipients include high school seniors Emily Cowan, Emily Bond, Alissa Hagar, Courtney Holcroft and Christa Canida.
To be considered for this scholarship, the students must be entering their senior year of high school and have a project in the Mayes County Fair.
After submitting a packet with three letters of recommendation, transcripts, test scores, and a personal narrative, scholarship applicants sit for individual interviews with a three-judge panel who then determine the winners.
Scholarship winners were announced Monday, Sept. 9, just before the Mayes County Fair Premium Sale.
This is a full tuition scholarship for four years to Rogers State University, so this is a great opportunity for the students, as well as an investment in the community by the university.
