Fleming Student Awarded CSOC Scholarship

***Logan County Sheriff's Office Press Release***

STERLING, COLORADO - Logan County Sheriff Brett Powell is pleased to announce that Jena Monheiser is this year’s recipient of the County Sheriffs of Colorado, CSOC, scholarship award for Logan County. Jena is a senior at Fleming High School and plans on continuing her education at Northeastern Junior College.

CSOC, Colorado’s state sheriffs’ association, offered a total of 32 awards of $500 each this year to deserving high school and college students in Colorado to fund higher-level educational expenses for the 2011-2012 academic year.

A citizens’ committee selected the winner for each county. Committees made their selections based upon criteria established by CSOC, including leadership, merit, character, involvement, purpose and need. Applicants were required to be full-time, legal Colorado residents who planned to attend a Colorado university, college or trade school.

According to Donald Christensen, CSOC Executive Director, this is the 32nd year for the CSOC scholarship program. Monies for the program are derived, in part, from the CSOC honorary membership fund, which consists of contributions from individual citizens and businesses each year.
