Students urged to pursue scholarships through grades and tests
High School students are urged to qualify for college entrance and scholarships by maintaining good grades. Nine Cheyenne County youths attend the College of Agriculture Home Economics at Lincoln, part of a high enrollment. Local agents seek more Nebraska Scholarship funds, with two $400 awards available annually through the Federal Land Bank. They aim for at least 12 county students in agriculture or home economics, with half receiving scholarships, while promoting Rural Area Development youth participation. Five other county youth projects include a county book mobile, a large steel sign for Sidney, and vocational guidance via counseling. The 4-H creed Tread Heart Hearth Hand guides youth leadership from age 10 onward.
