WABASH COUNTY, Ind. – Applications and instructions are currently being distributed to guidance counselors at each of the county’s high schools. Applicants will need to have their applications completed and returned to their guidance counselor by Tuesday, February 28, 2017.
The county-wide awards program is administered by the Wabash Kiwanis Club. The awards honor seniors who have exhibited self-reliance to achieve personal and educational goals. Self-reliance may involve overcoming difficult life circumstances or it may result in using initiative to establish projects that benefit their community or the global community. The Wabash Kiwanis Club coordinates and conducts the selection process by reviewing the applications, interviewing the finalists, and organizing the awards presentation.
Again, the award program is designed to honor those seniors who have done the best with what he or she has, while accomplishing worthy goals. With the exception of children of Kiwanis members, all high school seniors in Wabash County are eligible to compete. Any business, organization or individual that would like to help by sponsoring this program may call Beth Miller, 260-568-1128. Cash award amounts are dependent on sponsorships received.
