Dorothy Gore Scholarship applications are now available to graduating high school senior girls in La Plata County with a minimum cumulative 3.0 GPA.
The $1,000 scholarship, sponsored by Philanthropic Education Organization Chapter CS, is awarded to a student who has shown academic promise, leadership potential and community service and honors retired Durango teacher Dorothy Gore.
Although all are considered, students who apply to Cottey College, a four-year women’s college owned by the P.E.O. Sisterhood in Nevada, Missouri, are given special consideration.
Applications are available at high school counseling offices. The application deadline is April 19.
For more information, call Mary Colgan at 259-4039.
