Established in 1998, the Cook County Literacy Scholarship has awarded scholarships to nearly 30 graduating high school seniors in the community.
The Literacy Scholarship is a unique program providing recognition to students who may not meet the traditional scholarship criteria of grades, class rank and financial need. The program seeks to honor the success of students who often struggle with academics due to language related learning challenges that affect their reading or writing skills, and to those who offer service to support the success of others.
Applications are available through the high school office and the award is given in May.
If you would like to support the scholarship with a financial donation, it may be sent to: Literacy Scholarship, PO Box 607, Grand Marais, MN 55604. The Literacy Scholarship is sponsored by Kids Plus, so donations are tax deductible.
