Area Students Receive College Scholarships

In 2007, the Vandalia-Butler Foundation awarded scholarships to 36 Butler High School graduating seniors. Each year the Foundation appoints a selection committee to review applications and award the scholarships based on the criteria established by the initial donor. Other awards are determined by special committees.

Application information for future scholarships may be obtained through the helpful staff of Butler High School’s guidance office.
