Welcome to the 2003-2004 edition of the PRRD Scholarship Handbook. Thank you to Mr. Sheldon Wihnan, a Counsellor at the Eagle Butte High School, for annually updating this handbook and allowing us to adapt it for the Division. There have been some minor changes as there are every year. New scholarships are created while other scholarships end. Keep in mind there is a lot of money out there and by no means does this handbook contain all the scholarship/awards available to students. It takes hard work and time to "hunt down" other scholarships. As well, don't feel that because your marks are not high you will not qualify. There are awards available for students entering a particular field of study, financial need, etc. The following are some web sites that you may find useful in finding those other scholarships:
