Local talent, big dreams, and boundless potential—that’s what we celebrate with our annual scholarship program. For over 30 years, United & Turtle Mountain Communications has been proud to support our community’s youth. This spring, we awarded $41,000 in scholarships to 31 outstanding high school seniors attending accredited universities in the fall.
Our scholarship program, founded in 1991, has provided nearly a million dollars in financial support to hard-working students. Each year, we’re inspired by the determination and achievements of our applicants. This program isn’t just about funding their education; it’s about honoring the values of leadership, service, and community commitment that these students embody.
