The Sedona Group believes that supporting young adults in their education and training after high school is a key part of keeping our workforce and community competitive.
That is why they have partnered with WQAD News 8 to recognize outstanding high school seniors through our S.O.A.R. Scholarship program.
We are looking for seniors that best exemplify the S.O.A.R. characteristics.
S – Strength of character
O – Optimism – predictions for future success and where will you be making a difference
A – Achievement in academics and volunteerism
R – Resolve shown when faced with an adversarial situation
