Wilson Communications Scholarship Application & Guidelines are now available.

Two, $500 scholarships per each community that Wilson Communications serves will be awarded to graduating seniors. Those communities are Brookville, Denmark, Ellsworth, Hunter, Lucas, Sylvan Grove, Tipton and Wilson.

“My grandfather, Paul Grauer, started the program in 1984. Education was always important to him and we created the program as way of giving back to the communities we serve,” said Scott Grauer, president/ CEO of Wilson Communications.

“This is just one of the many ways we help support our communities.”

Wilson Communications is honoring their legacy by offering two new scholarship opportunities in 2022 — the Paul F. Grauer Technology Scholarship and the Helen Grauer Return to Learning Scholarship, Scott said.

The Paul F. Grauer Technology Scholarship will award one, $1,000 nonrenewable scholarship to a graduating senior or a college undergraduate that is dedicated in pursuing a degree in telecommunications, computer science, information technology or a telephone or broadband trade-related field.

The Helen Grauer Return to Learning Scholarship will offer one, non-renewable $500 scholarship opportunity to an adult student who is entering an education program for the first time or who is returning to complete an interrupted education.

Foundation for Rural Service (FRS), in cooperation with NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association, seeks to sustain and enhance the quality of life in America by advancing an understanding of rural issues. Through its various programs and initiatives, FRS strongly supports the continuing education of rural youth. Wilson Communications, through our membership with NTCA, is proud to be able to extend this opportunity to our area students. We have been honored to have sponsored 20 national scholarship recipients over the years totaling over $31,000 in scholarships.
