Graettinger PTA announces details of scholarship loan fund
Graettinger PTA officials outline the local scholarship loan fund with a current balance of $509.68, including $203.78 raised this year by a minstrel show. One student used the loan last year and is repaying in installments. Regulations require graduates of Graettinger Community School with top grades and demonstrated need, good character, community service, and part time work. Applications may be renewed if prior loans are repaid. Contact Supt. Hartung, Principal Robert Anderson, or PTA officers for details. The process involves a voucher note signed by the student and two unrelated responsible persons, held by the Treasurer.
