Area Seniors Awarded Performance Scholarships

The Donna Reed Foundation for the Performing Arts has awarded three scholarships to graduating seniors who have participated in the performing arts during their high school careers. 

Awarded $1,000 scholarships are:
Dylan Struck of Denison, a graduate of Denison-Schleswig High School, who will be majoring in Music Education at Simpson College starting this fall.

Awarded a $1,000 scholarship is Hannah Mahnken of Schleswig, a graduate of Denison-Schleswig High School, who will be majoring in History with an emphasis in museum studies at Simpson College beginning this fall.

To qualify for these scholarships, a student must be a graduate of a Crawford County high school and have acted in or have been a part of the tech crew for at least two drama productions during their high school career. Preference is given to students who plan to pursue a degree in the dramatic performing arts, however, this is not required in order to be considered for the scholarships.

The Foundation’s scholarship program is co-sponsored by Bank Iowa, Crawford County Trust and Savings Bank, and Wells Fargo Bank.
