Montezuma County Sheriff Dennis Spruell has announced that Kolton Miller is this year’s recipient of the County Sheriffs of Colorado scholarship award for Montezuma County.
CSOC, the Colorado state sheriff’s association, offered a total of 32 awards of $500 each this year to deserving high school and college students in Colorado to fund higher educational expenses for the 2013-14 academic year.
A citizens’ committee selected the winner for each county. Committees made their selections based on criteria established by CSOC, including leadership, merit, character, involvement, purpose and need. Applicants were required to be full-time, legal Colorado residents who plan to attend a state university, college or trade schools.
This is the 34th year for the scholarship program. Funding for the program is derived, in part, from the CSOC honorary membership fund, which consists of contributions from individual citizens and businesses.
