The Lamb County Leader-News is dedicated to helping youths achieve a stronger foundation for future learning and career selection, and as promised the newspaper will award scholarships this summer to outgoing Lamb County and Anton High School graduates who played sports during their senior year thanks to our sports sponsorships from local businesses throughout the 2019-20 school year.

The application process welcomes students from Lamb County and Anton High School who participated in at least one varsity sport during their senior year.

At the Leader-News, we know that many worthy students face financial difficulties when it comes to college tuition, and we created these scholarships to contribute to the success of ambitious and dedicated students who might be hindered by the incredible financial burden that comes with attending college. We created these scholarships with the help of our local businesses who enabled us to cover local student athletes’ success on the field over the past year.

This scholarship program is something that we hope to continue well into the future to help many other local student athletes achieve their dreams.

Qualifying students who wish to apply for one of the scholarships can do so using the form found below. The form can also be picked up at the newsroom.

The application process also requires that students submit a minimum 500-word essay that details their educational goals and what participating in sports has meant to them over their careers here in Lamb County and Anton. The Leader-News would like to know how the scholarship would benefit potential recipients and why they believe they are the worthiest candidate from among all the other local applicants.

The deadline to apply for the scholarship is July 10, 2020. Please attach the form below to your 500-word essay and return it to the newsroom to the attention of Derek Lopez. Scholarship recipients will be announced in the July 15, 2020, edition of the Lamb County Leader-News.

We would like to thank the following local businesses for their yearly sports sponsorship contribution throughout the 2019-20 school year: AimBank, BASF-Fibermax, Brown Flying Service, Capital Farm Credit, Food King, Food King Pharmacy, Ace Hardware, Hillcrest Funeral Home, King Ag Aviation, J-Bar-N Boot Shop, John Roley’s Autocenter, Lamb County Electric Coop, Lance Insurance, McDonald’s, Rowe Abstract and Title Company, Inc., Jan McCrary – State Farm Insurance, and Wellington State Bank.
