Keith and Nell Propst Memorial Scholarship

Keith Propst passed away in February 2003, and an agriculture scholarship was created in his name. Over the years, the Propst family also founded a scholarship for outstanding student achievement. After Nell Propst passed away, the family chose to honor her along with her late husband with this scholarship, which is designated to support students with declared majors in either agriculture or humanities.

This scholarship provides $5,000 per semester for up to four semesters. Preference will be given to students from either Logan or Washington Counties in Colorado. Recipients must maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA, commit to graduating from Northeastern, and demonstrate financial need. For agriculture students, active experience in FFA and 4-H will be viewed as a positive asset. For students with a major in humanities, active experience in the Nell Propst Essay Contest, and/or participation in speech or other theater activities will be viewed as a positive asset.  Preferred applicants must demonstrate integrity, leadership skills, strong moral character and community involvement. The application process may include an interview with the scholarship committee.
