- Lucas Bang, whose paternal ancestors came from Norway and settled in Minnesota in the mid-1800s, is receiving the Arlys Huebner Memorial Scholarship worth $750. Lucas is receiving a scholarship for the third year in a row.
- Christy Rasmussen is receiving the Arlene Rasmussen Memorial Scholarship worth $750. Christy won a scholarship last year, as well. Her grandfather, great-grandmother and great-grandfather were all born in Norway.
- Jennifer Nysveen-Patrocky, Julieann Ray, Samantha Reed and Kristy Smith is each being awarded a $500 scholarship.
The Scholarship Committee selected these students using as criteria grades, financial need, involvement in extracurricular activities, and the content and quality of the essays. Applicants must also be of Norwegian descent and the applicants’ expression of their appreciation for their heritage also was factored in.
Thank you to some of this year's donors: Ross Huebner, $200; Mickey and Roy Kristiansen, $500; Alice Dalvesen, $200; anonymous, $500. The remainder of the funding came from lodge fundraisers, other individual donors, and $500 from the lodge general fund. We hope to raise more money for scholarships in 2010. If interested in making a tax-deductible donation, please make out a check to the Vegas Viking Sons of Norway Scholarship Fund and mail to:
