Scholarship program available for Hardin County Water District No. 2 students

Students in the Hardin County Water District No. 2 service area are encouraged to apply for a scholarship opportunity.

The Burton and Barbara Langley Family Foundation and Hardin County Water District No. 2 are making $30,000 in scholarships available through the family foundation’s scholarship program.

According to the water district, the scholarships are available to high school seniors and college or trade school students that receive their water service from District No. 2. High school seniors must have a GPA of at least 2.5 and college or trade school students must have a GPA of at least 3.2.

The water district says the Langleys established their foundation in 2011 “as a means of helping others achieve financial independence and become socially responsible members of society.” Burton Langley was commissioner of the water district from 1965 to 1991 and is credited with designing the district’s logo.

The deadline to apply for the scholarship program is April 15. Find more information and the scholarship application under the education tab at www.hcwd2.org.
