Five 2010 scholarship recipients were selected from 10 applications last year. They were chosen on the basis of their grades, financial need, involvement in extracurricular activities and the content and quality of their essays.
How the applicants expressed appreciation for their Norwegian heritage was another factor in their selection.
In the fifth year of awarding Vegas Viking scholarships, $2,500 was divided among these local students of Norwegian descent:
- Christy Rasmussen – the $750 toward education/language studies at Cornell College
- Kristy Smith - $750 toward web design studies at the Art Institute of Las Vegas
- Erik Otterbach - $500 toward nursing/pediatrics studies at Nevada State College
- Julieann Ray - $250 toward chemical engineering studies at Brigham Young University
- Spencer Manning - $250 toward mechanical engineering studies at Brigham Young University
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:
