Dolly Ahrens Achievement Scholarship
In 1994, Claude W. Ahrens established the Dolly Ahrens Achievement
Scholarship Award. Since 1994, a scholarship in memory of the late
Dolly Ahrens has been made available each year for a minimum of ten
graduating seniors of Grinnell High School.
The awards, up to $2,500 each, may be used for any post-secondary
education or training deemed acceptable by the selection committee. The
scholarship money must be used within one year after graduation from
Grinnell High School.
The nominees need not necessarily be the best academic students or the
most talented individuals, but should be a self-directed person who is a
responsible contributor to the community. A completed application and
two reference forms may be filled out and returned to the Grinnell High
School Guidance Office in the spring of each year.
