Scholarships
Kickin’ for College & Shootin’ for the Stars
Who is eligible?
Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors from Spearfish High School
How does it work?
Come to the selected Spartan home football/ basketball games. All Spearfish High School Students, who show their Student ID, will have the opportunity to enter their name into a drawing. At half-time, ten tickets will be chosen from that drawing. Those ten Students will get a Beanie and an opportunity to kick a field goal/ shoot a basket. If they make the field goal/ basket then their name goes into a drawing for a $1,000 Scholarship that will be drawn at the end of the season. One name will be drawn from all of the entries, for both football and basketball. Both Students will each win $1,000 from the Real Estate Center of Spearfish, payable to the college (or vocational school) of their choice. Scholarship money is to be used at the beginning of their second semester in that school.
