Blewett wrestling scholarships offered
News from Hoyt & Blewett PLLC
GREAT FALLS — For the 16th year in a row Alexander (Zander) Blewett III, a trial lawyer from the personal injury law firm of Hoyt & Blewett PLLC in Great Falls, has offered three $1,000 scholarships to the top student wrestlers around the state of Montana for Classes “AA”, “A”, and “B/C.”
The scholarships are awarded to the top wrestler from each school classification who has displayed the best combined qualities of wrestling and academic achievement. Both male and female wrestlers are eligible to apply for the scholarship. The award will go to one senior high school wrestler in each class around Montana who best qualifies. Applicants do not have to win the state championship to qualify for this scholarship. If they do win, they must still exhibit strong academic achievement. The winner of each class must attend a college somewhere in the United States and a check in the amount of $1000 will be sent to that college to help defray the cost of tuition.
Applications for the Blewett Wrestling Scholarship are due April 2 and are available online.
