A total of 120 Grant County students in higher education have been awarded the 2017-2018 Stewart Scholarship.

The distribution amount was $576,000 and most of the awards were $5,000.

The amount available depends on how the stock market performs, and this year’s sum is up by $8,600 from last year.

The scholarships benefit Grant County students of all ages who qualify, thanks to the late benefactors Wayne Stewart of Dayville and his son Eminger Stewart III of Mt. Vernon, who made provisions in their wills to set up a perpetual education fund upon their death.

The funds are managed by the U.S. Bank’s private client group in Bend. Recipients can use the funds for undergraduate, trade or graduate school educational expenses, up to a total of five years.
