Posted: Sat, Jan 25, 2020 3:31 PM

The Decorah Area Chamber of Commerce now has two scholarship applications available for local students to fill out. One scholarship is available for any Winneshiek County high school student, while the other is available for a current Northeast Iowa Community College student.

Each $350 scholarship will be awarded to a student who shows a passion for learning, agriculture, and their community.  High school applicants must plan to study agriculture in their postsecondary education, and NICC applicants must be currently enrolled in an agriculture program.

Applications are available at http://www.decorahareachamber.com/agriculture.html, at the Chamber of Commerce office at 507 West Water Street in Decorah, or by calling the Chamber at (563) 382-3990.

The scholarship application deadline is February 19th.  Applications must be postmarked by that date or delivered to the Chamber of Commerce office by 5:00 p.m. on February 19th.

Winners will be notified in advance. Award recognition takes place at the 19th Annual Ag Appreciation Luncheon, which will be held March 18th at the Winneshiek County Fairgrounds.
