News from the P.E.O Chapter of Polson

POLSON — The prestigious P.E.O. STAR Scholarship, for the 2020-2021 academic year, was awarded to Mesa McKee, a recent graduate of Polson High School. The scholarship certificate was presented by P.E.O. Chapter CA President Lynn Sherick. 

Mesa is the daughter of James and Spring McKee and was recommended for this scholarship by Chapter CA of Polson. McKee has been accepted and will attend Montana State University in Bozeman beginning this fall where she plans to major in Global Studies with a minor in Spanish. 

The P.E.O. STAR Scholarship is a $2,500 scholarship based on excellence in leadership, extracurricular activities, community service, academics and potential for future success. The program is open to young women who are citizens or legal permanent residents of the United States or Canada and who are graduating high school seniors at the time of application. A student must be recommended by a P.E.O. chapter. 

The P.E.O. Sisterhood, founded Jan. 21, 1869, at Iowa Wesleyan College, Mount Pleasant, Iowa, is an international philanthropic and educational organization, which promotes increased educational opportunities for women.
