The High Desert Cutters (HDC) held their second annual Scholarship Cutting on Saturday, June 20, at the Harney County fairgrounds.

The event featured a total of 66 rides, and the total amount raised for the scholarship fund was $2,690.

The HDC are providing one or two scholarships of $500 to $1,000 to up to two Harney County youth.

The recipient must have completed one year, and be enrolled in the second or subsequent year of a four-year college program. Applicants must be full-time students. Family members of the selection committee are ineligible for the scholarship.

Selection will be based on financial need, potential contribution to the community and commitment to an education.

Contact Angie Ketscher 493-2886 or Mitch Willis 573-7594 for applications or questions.

Applicants should submit an application, two non-family letters of reference, a relevant financial statement and two short essays (less than 500 words each) on 1) their most significant accomplishment and 2) on their goals and why receiving this scholarship is important and how it will return something to the community.

Application packages must be submitted by July 20 to Angie Ketscher, P.O. Box 804, Hines, OR. 97738. Selection of the scholarship winner(s) will be announced by Aug. 30.
