A pair of local high school graduates are getting a boost toward their college educations from the Park County Farm Bureau.
The bureau recently awarded $750 scholarships to Powell High School senior Holden Cooper and Cody High School senior Mel Hopkin.
Cooper and Hopkin were chosen from “a great pool of applicants,” said past Park County Farm Bureau Vice President Abby Shuler. “We were really impressed with our choices,” Shuler said, adding, “It was a really difficult decision on choosing who our winners were.”
To qualify for the scholarship, students must post GPAs of 2.5 or higher and either they or their parents must be Farm Bureau members, which preference given to regular members. The student also must be heading to one of Wyoming’s junior colleges or the University of Wyoming, with preference given to Northwest College. That worked out well for Hopkin and Cooper, who are both planning to attend NWC. Assuming they continue to meet the GPA requirements, they’ll be able to renew the scholarship for an additional year.
