The Northwest Iowa League of Cities is introducing its High School Senior Scholarship Program.

The program is open to any high school senior residing in a community that is a member of the Northwest Iowa League of Cities who is pursuing post-secondary education or training in a field that may result in employment by city government (examples: public administration, water/wastewater, law enforcement, code enforcement, planner, public engineer, city attorney, etc.).

Contact your City Hall for an application, or email Scott Peterson, secretary/treasurer, at scott@lakeviewlifestyle.com.

Completed applications are due by April 1. In 2020, the Northwest Iowa League is planning to award up to four scholarships of $1,000 each.

All funds used for the scholarship program are generated through private and commercial fundraising.

The Northwest Iowa League of Cities is an organization founded by community leaders in a 27-county area.

Members work together to improve the effective and efficient operation of public services.

The organization provides ongoing education and networking opportunities — sharing experiences leading to regional success.

More than 70 cities are members.
