Scholarships
$1,000 College Scholarship!
Kickin for College & Shootin for the Stars
Who is eligible?
Spartan Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors
How does it work?
Come to the selected Spartan home football and 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 an opportunity to kick a field goal or shoot a basket. If they are successful, then their name goes into a drawing for the $1,000 Scholarship that will be drawn at the end of the basketball season. Only one name will be drawn from all of the entries and that Student will 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.
