Apply now for Rich Ramm Memorial Scholarship

LOCK HAVEN — Applications are being accepted until May 3 for the Rich Ramm Memorial Scholarship. A scholarship in the amount of $1,700 will be given to a graduating senior from Clinton County who attends either a Clinton County school or a school in the Jersey Shore Area School District, as well as someone who is a full-time college student.

Students must be a Clinton County resident and must be entered in or have been accepted into an accredited program in the field of agriculture. The scholarship will be awarded in whole, or in the event of a tie, the amount will be split between the winners.

Primary consideration will be given to those students who have continued to successfully challenge themselves throughout their academic years as indicated by course choice, grades, leadership, outside extracurricular activities, and work experience. The essay required for the application will carry high importance in determining the recipient of this scholarship. Activities, awards and recognitions listed on the application will also be considered.

This scholarship fund has been established in memory of a local farmer, Rich Ramm, who died in 1992. Rich was an agronomy graduate and a strong supporter of conservation in Clinton County. His friends have donated money for this perpetual fund, administered through the Clinton County Conservation District and the Clinton County Community Foundation.

Applications are available from the Clinton County Conservation District and from school guidance counselors. Deadline for applications is May 3. The award will be announced the end of May or the first week of June.

Completed applications must be submitted to: Clinton County Conservation District, 45 Cooperation Lane, Mill Hall, Pa. 17751. For more information, contact Mary Ann Bower at 570-726-3798.
