Sac Osage Retired School Employees’ Association met on Monday, March 16.

The Nellie Nicholas Scholarship was discussed.  Applications and guidelines were given to the two schools and the announcement was put in the papers.  It was noted that those that couldn’t pick up their forms in person could email Ashley Rogers at:  arogers@mail.eldo.k12.mo.us to request a copy of the forms.   A May 1 deadline had been determined, with applications being sent to Evelyn Boyle at her  1405 S. Jackson address.

We have had many returning applicants, as well  as new ones each year.  We have been able to award approximately seven scholarships each year, each one with a value of  $2500 or more.

Nellie was a dear member of our organization and she left a tremendous legacy with this scholarship for education majors.  However, she did not wish this scholarship to be used for master’s work in education.  President Evelyn Boyle gave her email address for those with questions:  evelyntagboyle@gmail.com

The Scholarship Committee of SORSEA will meet  May 10th to go through applications and determine scholarship winners.   It was determined that a newspaper article with picture will be posted, and a social will be given for the winners in June.
