In addition a resume’ was requested containing at least the following information:
*Their course of study in high school and subjects taken toward their career choice.
*Activities they participated in during high school both in school and outside school.
*Their long range career goals, financial need, and pertinent information helpful to the scholarship committee.

This year’s recipients for the MI-TRALE Scholarships of $100.00 each went to: Ontonagon High School Students; Paige Blake and Karlie Seid and Ewen Trout Creek High School Students; Jenna Hash, Lana Lind and Landon Maki.
