GREELEY STAMPEDE FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED

Over 80 applications were submitted from students across Weld County high schools for a chance to be considered for a Greeley Stampede Foundation scholarship.

They selected recipients based on their outstanding academic results, school involvement, leadership in the community, and plans to further their education.
