    PARKMAN — The Parkman Grange has announced the immediate availability of application packages for 2015 Minnie Welts Bridge Memorial Scholarships.
    Packages may be picked up at the Parkman town office. Applicants must have graduated from high school and be currently enrolled (in good academic standing) in a legitimate institution of continuing education (i.e., community college, technical school, or four-year college or university).

    Application deadline is Friday, May 29 – no exceptions. Awards will be announced at the memorial supper on July 18.
    Minnie Welts Bridge passed away at age 102 on Aug. 14, 2011. She was a lifelong resident of Parkman, a retired schoolteacher who taught in Parkman schools for 29 years and a life member of Parkman Grange No. 305.
    The Grange established the Minnie Welts Bridge Memorial Scholarship Fund to benefit deserving Parkman residents. The Grange hopes to annually award one or more scholarships of $500 each, funded through donations and their annual supper in Minnie’s name.
