Several Quay County-area students were among 36 recipients who received over $131,000 in scholarships from the Plateau Education Foundation last week.
These area students received $3,000 Banner scholarships:
• Jayden Grace Johnson, San Jon High School
• Nathaniel Leigh Kneitz, San Jon High School
• Jason Clay Knight, Logan High School
• Jaide Esmeralda Roberts, Logan High School
• Kesleah Jean Shields, Logan High School
• Ryen Gabrielle Stone, Logan High School
• Chisum Rye Rush, Grady High School
Among the alternatives for the Banner scholarships are Jantzen Lane Paris, Mesa Grace Modisette and Karli Mae Webb, all of Logan High School.
Since its inception in 1993, the foundation has awarded over $1.5 million in scholarships and grants to area students.
Funding for the foundation comes from cooperative members’ donated and abandoned capital credits payments. One of the foundation’s goals is to improve educational opportunities for the youth in the cooperative’s service area.
Formed in 1949 as Eastern New Mexico Rural Telephone Cooperative, Plateau provides advanced communication services including voice, internet and video to residents in all or parts of 18 eastern New Mexico counties and five in the Texas Panhandle.
