This year, the 2016-17 Wayne Stewart Scholar- ship will provide $567,400 to divide among 108 Grant County students seeking higher education goals. The distribution amount is down by $13,600, com- pared with last year; the amount available depends on how the stock market performs. The scholarships bene- fit Grant County students of all ages who qualify, thanks to the late bene- factors Wayne Stewart of Dayville and his son Eminger Stewart III of Mt. Vernon, who made provi- sions in their wills to set up a perpetual education fund upon their death. The funds are managed by the U.S. Bank’s private client group in Bend. Recipients can use the funds for undergraduate, trade or graduate school ed- ucational expenses, up to a WRWDORI¿YH\HDUV Grant County Education Service District Supervisor Robert Waltenburg said the scholarship opens up opportunities for local stu- dents. “It’s an amazing gift by the Stewart family to pro- vide for our kids,” he said. “It’s an extremely generous gift, making possibilities happen for them.” Superintendent/Princi- pal Earl Pettit said gradu- ates at Monument School have been consistent in applying for the Stewart Scholarship. “It has a tremendous im- pact on our students when they head off for college,” he said. “It’s the best schol- arship we have in Grant County.” For more information about the scholarship, vis- it grantesd.k12.or.us, and click on the “Stewart Schol- CAFÉ SOCIETY PG-13 In 1930s Hollywood, a young Bronx native falls in love with the secretary of an agent to the stars.
