Wilfred Jaspers Scholarship                                                                                        Due: June 1st

The Wilfred Jaspers Scholarship was established in 2000 for Roslyn High School Alumni.  With the dissolution of the Roslyn School District, the scholarship has been made available to college students from the Britton, Langford and Webster School Districts.

Any full time college/university student of sophomore ranking or higher, pursuing either a bachelor’s or graduate degree, and maintaining a minimum 3.0 grade point average (GPA) is encouraged to apply.  High School seniors can apply.  However, if they are chosen as the scholarship recipient, the scholarship will not be awarded until they reach sophomore status and have at least a 3.0 GPA.  Priority will be given to those candidates who are especially active in their communities, have financial need, attend Midwest colleges/universities and plan to return to Northeast South Dakota to live and pursue their careers.

Applicants may apply as often as they are eligible.  Prior awardees of this scholarship (that continue to meet eligibility requirements) are also welcome to reapply.
