RANGELY I Rio Blanco County Sheriff Si Woodruff is pleased to announce that Tessa Slagle, a senior at Rangely High School, is this year’s recipient of the County Sheriffs of Colorado (CSOC) scholarship award to Rio Blanco County.
The CSOC, Colorado’s state sheriffs’ association, offered a total of 31 awards of $500 cash this year to deserving high school and college students in Colorado to fund higher-level-educational expenses for the 2014-2015 academic year.
A citizen’s committee selected the winner for each county. Committees made their selections based upon criteria established by the CSOC, including leadership, merit, character, involvement and purpose. Applicants were required to be full-time students and legal Colorado residents who plan to attend a Colorado university, college or trade school.
This is the 35th year for the CSOC scholarship program. Monies for the program are derived, in part, from the CSOC honorary membership fund, which collects contributions from individual citizens and businesses each year.
If you are interested in providing continued support for this excellent program, please contact the County Sheriffs of Colorado at 720-344-2763 or visit their website at www.csoc.org.
