The Foundation for Rural Service (FRS), a branch of the National Telephone Cooperative Association, is offering 30 scholarships nationwide. These scholarships are for high school seniors and are for $2,000 each. All high school seniors whose parents are a member of West River Cooperative Telephone Company (WRCTC) are eligible to apply.

Should a student from our service area be selected to receive one of the 30 scholarships, WRCTC will make a $500 matching contribution to the scholarship, bringing the total scholarship award to $2,500! Preference will be given to the individuals expressing an interest in returning to work in a rural area following college graduation.

For an application, please click here. Applications are also available through your School’s Guidance Counselor or from WRCTC in Bison. Completed applications require the signature of the General Manager Jerry Reisenauer and must be postmarked to the Foundation for Rural Services no later than March 1, 2010.
