Named after Polar’s first general manager, the John G. Walters Scholarship in the amount of $2,000 each is being awarded to fifteen graduating high school seniors who plan on continuing their education at an accredited 2-year or 4-year college/university or vocational-technical school. Recipients’ parents or guardians are full-time residents in the Polar Communications and Subsidiaries service area and have a voice or broadband Internet service account. Along with an application, students were asked to submit an essay answering the question, “What field or major do you intend to enter and how might it impact your rural community?”
